    • Description

    30 Year Old Tawny Port from Sao Leonardo
    Matured in Portugal's dramatic Douro Valley region and blended from selected casks, this rich and warming tawny port is brimming with dried fruits and honey aromas. Full-bodied, smooth and harmonious on the palate with a great balance between sweetness and acidity and with a long and persistent finish with lingering flavours of dark rum, toasted almond and raisin.

    Serving & Food Pairing
    Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline.

    São Leonardo
    A premium red wine produced by Quinta do Mourão, a historic estate in Portugal's Douro Valley. Named after the patron saint, it is made from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties. São Leonardo is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Quinta do Mourão, showcasing the unique terroir of the Douro Valley and the rich winemaking heritage of the region.

    How to store your Tawny Port:

    *** 94 Points- Wine Advocate ***
    The NV Tawny Porto 30 Years S. Leonardo is a field blend coming in with 143 grams of residual sugar. It was bottled with a bar-top cork in 2017. This is where the lineup gets more unctuous. The mid-palate doesn't seem thick, but the subtle concentration is superb on the finish. It seems rich and creamy at first, spicy and lively later. The fruit changes here in terms of maturity compared to the 20. This adds some complexity, finishing with a bit more molasses and hint of treacle. The 20 can't quite match this in concentration, but it still holds its own in many ways, as it is more complex than normal for a 20. This also develops a livelier feel, despite its age. If you're comparing the other way, this doesn't have the power of the 40, but it has a bit more personality and a brighter demeanor. Each to his own. Mark Squires- (Robert Parker's, Wine Advocate)

    Overall, the concentration (while maintaining elegance) makes this focused 30 very fine, but the superb balance is more important to its personality. As much as I like this—very much my style—the price spike compared to the 20 is also pretty serious. There's always that question concerning where the 30 fits in the range (see my "Portugal, Port: 30 Year Ports" article from the February 2018 issue for more on this topic.) Some will think this is the perfect compromise between 20 and 40, while others will think they may as well go directly to the 40 if they want that extra complexity and concentration. This is better than the 20, but given the price spike, the 20 might be the best choice for bargain hunters.
