The NV Honore Very Old Tawny Port was bottled in December 2015 with a long cork. It was aged in 550-liter wood casks for, the winery estimates, about 140 years, making it one of those 19th Century Ports the Douro folks release on occasion in handsome and upscale packaging. It comes in with a little over 300 grams per liter of residual sugar. When this was first seen, it had just been pulled from barrel as a quick sample. It is commercialized now (with that gorgeous packaging, everything you'd expect from a high-end 19th Century Porto). The winery says that this "very unique and special wine is a result of three very old port barrels, from the private cellar of Constantino de Almeida, the great grandfather of Miguel and Tomás." That's the Roquette brothers, of course, of the family that owns Crasto, so this isn't a random purchase—the family has been in charge of this since Day One. Manuel Lobo, the winemaker at Crasto currently, said the three casks were almost empty. There were just 400 bottles produced in this one-and-only release.
