Quinta da Romaneira NV “Over 40 Years Old” Tawny Port (bottled 2004). Apparently, the 1935 vintage is used for 50% of the blend, with younger vintages used to freshen things up. 21% alcohol.

A dark mahogany colour, fading to yellow and colourless on the rim. Not very outspoken on the nose. No noticeable alcohol. Some roasted hazelnuts, some dried fruit (more citrus than dark fruits) and something close to roses.
Big bodied and medium sweet. Very rich. Somewhat spicy at first, becoming smoother with more time in the mouth – creamy chocolate, dried figs.
Finish of exceptional length, and fresher than the palate would suggest. It possesses a light bitterness (nice) but remains a bit hot throughout (pity). 93 points.

Stevie, what an interesting blend of vintages. I assume 1935 was a great year, but why did they mix it? Didn't they have enough left of the '35? Any ideas what other vintages were used (to make the average 'over 40 years')?

Interesting! You're quite into Q.d.Romaneira recently?

NDD, 1935 was indeed a very good year for Port. I have absolutely no idea as to what other vintages are components of this blended Port.

AFA blending is concerned: I've blended my own Tawnies before, both for fun (using Kopke Colheitas), as well as in competitions (using Graham).
Blending a well-balanced Tawny is extremely difficult, but fun as well: for instance, an older sweet, nutty Port with a hint of young fruity one can be more than the sum of the individual parts - and it becomes even more fun / difficult having the choice to blend 4, 6, or even more vintages!

It is just by chance that I'm drinking a lot of Romaneira lately; this specific Port was tasted at a bar in Porto last weekend (E 19,- / glass, E 130,- / bottle).
