Golden color, slightly greenish halo. The intense aroma contains notes of Madagascar vanilla bean, salted caramel, orange blossom and earthy notes of freshly cut cardboard and cigar box. In the mouth it is full, fresh, with notes of dried fruit, caramel and herbs. Long and tasty aftertaste. Quinta da Devesa Port Wines are produced exclusively from vinified and matured batches on site. Since 1941, crops considered of superior quality by the family's winemakers have been stored and aged in wooden hooves. These special wines are now used to produce the Port Wines Quinta da Devesa. This Port Wine 40 Anos Branco is obtained from a batch of varieties recommended for the demarcated Douro region. The aging, in the Quinta da Devesa warehouses, took place naturally over many years in wooden canisters, favoring the darkening of the original color. Robert Parker notes of Mark Squires: "The style here is acidity and complexity. The tawnies eschew fruitiness in favor of complexity, making even the 10 seem older than it is. Not everyone will prefer that style, but I liked it great. It gave them some distinction. Often they exceeded their categories."
