NV Quinta do Mourao S. Leonardo White 40 Years

The NV 40 Year Old White Port São Leonardo is a field blend of grapes like Viosinho, Codega de Larinho, Cerceal and Malvasia. It was bottled in 2019 with a bar-top cork and 160 grams of residual sugar. This is basically the 30 Year with more power—and maybe more freshness. That touch of char remains, but the finish is longer and more penetrating. As with all of them, there's more of a Tawny-like character here than a White Port character, and the sugar makes its presence known. It's pretty delicious and complex, though.
