Vista Alegre 40 Anos Do Tawny Porto

Description

This Vista Alegre 40 Anos is a genuine trip back in time, and not just due to its 40 years of ageing. The colour – a gorgeous amber-gold with a touch of green – immediately hints at the complexity to come: walnuts, figs, and cashew dancing in a rather intricate ballet, punctuated by whispers of tobacco and, of course, that unmistakable cedar note. Remarkably, there's a good level of acidity here, lending it a wonderfully velvety texture and a rich body, finishing with an exceptionally long tail. It deserves to be enjoyed with aged cheeses, or perhaps a perfectly roasted duck – a pairing that truly celebrates its maturity and refined character.
