Tasting Notes
A remarkable wine has been selected to celebrate a milestone in the history of one of the Douro's oldest quintas. "HONORE" is a century-old Tawny port from a rare selection of casks containing pre-1918 wines, carefully preserved for three generations in Constantino de Almeida's private stock.
For this special edition, 400 bottles - corresponding to the company's anniversary - have been meticulously assembled. An exceptional, unparalleled wine that pays tribute to this historic event.
The color is a rich amber with delicate olive-green highlights. The nose reveals a remarkable intensity and complexity, characteristic of over a century of barrel aging. Seductive aromas of honey, tobacco leaf and nuts are immediately recognizable. On the palate, the wine is initially fat and concentrated, then gradually unfolds in layers of refined sweetness and vibrant acidity. With an exceptionally long finish, this wine captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression of its rare elegance.
