**95 Points - James Halliday 2012 Wine Companion**

In 1953 the first vintage-dated 'Para Liqueur Port', the 1922, was
released in its distinctively shaped bottle. In the mid 1970s Seppelt Para Liqueur numbered series replaced the vintage dated wine, and continues to provide consistent premium port. The vintage dated Para made a
nostalgic return with the 1976, following in the tradition of
quality for which Para is renowned, but with the added enticement of vintage variation.

This Para Liqueur 21 Year Old Vintage Tawny is made entirely from a single vintage. Its style is a reflection of the weather and growing
conditions through the summer and during the harvest of that year - the expression of a year long gone preserved for enjoyment.

A fresh aroma with nutty notes, redolent of butter biscuits and treacle. Subtle orange blossom and brown spice notes support the integrated, floral spirit to present a vibrant and lifted aroma.

Palate
A fine, elegant example of the liqueur tawny port style. This wine has a creamy palate with lovely balance and a terrific clean finish.
