Description

Calém 20 Year Old Tawny Port (75cl / 20%) is an exquisite marriage of ports meticulously aged for an average of 20 years in small oak casks at Porto Cálem’s historic Vila Nova de Gaia lodges, sourced from premium Douro Valley estates dominated by Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. This oxidative maturation crafts its signature brick-orange tawny hue with olive-green tinges, denoting profound complexity. The bouquet enchants with polished mahogany wood, wild honey, roasted almonds, orange marmalade, and whispers of clove, nutmeg, and dried fig. Silken palate glides through layers of caramelised walnuts, candied citrus peel, toffee apple, subtle balsamic vinegar, and dark chocolate, underpinned by vibrant acidity, supple tannins, and spicy persistence. The finish endures elegantly—nutty, honeyed, with lingering spice and faint salty minerality. Ideal neat alongside blue cheeses, patê, or almond pastries, its harmonious refinement captivates Port connoisseurs seeking oxidative opulence.
