The price of this Port sounds steep – until you realise that 40 Year Old tawny from the big shippers regularly exceeds £120 a bottle. Heady and concentrated aromas and flavours of walnut skins, furniture polish, currants and butterscotch, lifted by mouthwatering acidity. A little goes a long way! Online only.
