99 points Richard Mayson (The World of Fine Wine): "This wine immediately strikes you with its beautiful pale mahogany-tawny hues, with green-tinged amber on the rim. Lifted and delicately high-toned on the nose, with an appetizing, savory-sweet character of butterscotch, dried figs, walnuts, and just a hint of ground coffee. Gloriously smooth and suave in texture, caramelized fruit with marmalade richness offset by remarkable freshness, a streak of gentle acidity mid-palate persisting on the long (almost endless) finish. Seamless overall, exquisitely melded by age and skillful blending. Usefully you don’t have to drink it all at once. Due to its prolonged aging in cask in the relative cool of the Graham’s lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia, Charles Symington suggests that it can be drunk over a period of eight weeks after opening. This is the quintessence of Tawny Port: fabulous. (11/21/25)"
99 points Jacobo GarcÃa Andrade (JamesSuckling.com): "Burnt oranges, varnish, antique wood, dust and dried fruit on the nose. The captivating palate shows a sweetness that merges seamlessly with exceptional, persistent acidity and a touch of volatility. Intense, linear yet expansive, with penetrating drive propelling it further and further. A wine for reflection. Drink now. (9/18/25)"

Producer notes: "Our Head Winemaker and Master Blender, Charles Symington (4th generation), blended this 80 Year Old Tawny Port to mark the 80th birthday of his father and predecessor, Peter Symington (3rd generation), and celebrate his distinguished career. Such was its immense quality, the decision was taken to bottle and release it on a limited basis. Tasting Notes: This venerable wine allures and seduces such are its mesmerising aromas and flavours. The range of aromas is extraordinary, combining walnuts, treacle, honey, coffee and dried figs. The luxuriantly textured, creamy palate is simultaneously concentrated and gloriously smooth and polished with layers of complexity. There is soft caramel, mandarin orange, quince, praline, vanilla and then some butterscotch on the long aftertaste, which ends on notes of tobacco and black tea. The discreet acidity provides remarkable freshness, grace and balance. This magnificent old port is the embodiment of vinous sophistication and a delight to the senses. Serving: To be enjoyed slightly chilled. Once open, enjoy within 8 weeks. Alcohol 21.5%."
