Tasting Notes:
The 2001 Port from Palmer has a rich tawny colour, due to extended aging in wooden casks. it has a complex bouquet of dried fruits, nuts, caramel, vanilla, and spices. On the palate it is smooth, rich, and well-balanced. Flavours mirror the aromas with additional notes of toffee, honey, and sometimes a hint of oak.
Best served slightly chilled, around 12-16°C (54-61°F) and use a port glass or a small wine glass to capture the intricate aromas. It will pair well with rich desserts, strong cheeses, nuts, and dark chocolate.
