Heiner Lobenberg om:
Over 40 Years Very Old Tawny Port

97–98
/100

Van Zellers 40 Years Old Tawny er et godt eksempel på de modne portvines ædelhed. Sammensat af over 30 forskellige indfødte druesorter. Den lyse mahognifarve i glasset er helt betagende, fuld af dybde og koncentration. Næsen afslører et fascinerende samspil af nødder, tørret frugt, fin appelsinskal, karamel og gammelt træ - meget kompleks, men ikke overbelastet. Intet larmer, alt er på sin plads. Smagen er silkeagtig, næsten svævende, med en elegance, som man ikke altid finder i denne alder. Fine oxidative noter, tørret figen, ristede mandler, et strejf af karamel, plus en salt friskhed og en forbløffende livlig syre, der bærer vinen igennem til den lange, levende finish. Dette er ikke en sød, bred tawny, men en med enorm præcision og længde. På trods af sine fire årtier virker den ikke træt eller skrøbelig, men klar, fokuseret og fuld af indre spænding.

Parker om: Over 40 Years Very Old Tawny Port

The NV 40 Years Very Old Tawny Port is a field blend from vines averaging 35 years in age. It was bottled in November 2019 with a long cork and 105 grams of residual sugar. This was juicier and more expressive than the relatively stern 30 Year this issue on the first pours, but they came closer together. The 30 Year has good acidity too. This 40 Year does eventually show a bit more maturity and complexity to go with its lively demeanor, but it seems almost as fresh as the 30 Year and a bit less austere. Delicious at the same time, it touches all the bases. That includes the very long finish, of course. There is plenty of power as well. This is a big winner in its somewhat mouthwatering style. This does have a small edge over the 30, but they both are great and reasonable minds might differ. 95/100

Suckling om: Over 40 Years Very Old Tawny Port

Medium amber hue. Concentrated and deep nose and palate, showing a wide spectrum of aromas and flavors. Caramel, sourdough, Brazil nuts, dried persimmons, figs and licorice. Really intense and smooth on the palate with fine, creamy tannins and a lengthy finish that goes on for almost a minute. Drink now.
