Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion describes the 1924 100 Year Old Para Vintage Tawny:
“It blows my mind that when this wine was first lovingly tucked away, the world was still swaying from World War I, the first successful around-the-world flight began, Mahatma Gandhi was released from prison and Marlon Brando and Lauren Bacall were born. It's a monumental wine. A tawny of such depth and concentration that it seems reduced to an essence, a singularity of complex aromas and flavours. Liquid dried fruits, candied hazelnuts, mahogany, molasses, rich marzipan-iced fruitcake, cigar lounge, dark caramel, espresso liquor, candied figs, wood spice and citrus rind. New aromas and flavours constantly ghost in and out of frame; the light changes, you marvel at the wines warm velvet flow, its length of flavour, how you're going to get that stain out of your glassware. And then you close your eyes and let it envelop you. It's an epic wine and a national treasure.” 100 points.
