True rarity is not proclaimed; it is recognised. APICIVS 1975 finds those who value time, perfection, and all that transcends the ordinary.

For five decades, this extraordinary vintage has matured within the cellars of a time-honoured Port house. Time has shaped its structure, deepened its spirit, and elevated its essence. 556 litres were meticulously selected by the APICIVS Master Blender for their exceptional quality, representing the purest expression of what this vintage could achieve.

Bottled on its jubilee, this Colheita Port stands as a testament to time, mastery, and the unyielding quest for perfection. Each bottle captures a unique, unrepeatable moment, reserved for those who understand that some experiences are beyond acquisition – they are destined.

Some creations defy explanation. They must be experienced. Some choices are beyond deliberation. They impose themselves.

From the first glance to the endless finish, APICIVS 1972 reveals itself in layers of brilliance, unctuousness, and elegance.

Its colour transitions from amber to mahogany in a mesmerising dégradée. On the nose, a rare opulence: eucalyptus honey, balsamic fennel, honeysuckle, and hints of beeswax and tobacco leaf.

On the palate, it is unexpectedly fresh and silky, with echoes of dried citrus zest, butterscotch, and caramelised figs. The finish is endless — sweet, spicy, balsamic — with notes of crème brûlée, pepper, and eucalyptus blossom honey.

APICIVS 1971 opens with a quiet amber glow that deepens into polished mahogany, edged by a rare olive-green rim. Its aromas unfold with poise: eucalyptus honey, balsamic fennel, honeysuckle, beeswax and dried tangerine zest.

Hints of curry, black pepper and tobacco leaf bring gentle spice, wrapped in cedar resin and soft floral notes. On the palate, freshness lifts the richness. Honey, butterscotch and caramelised figs emerge with silken grace.

The finish is long and refined, echoing crème brûlée, wild herbs and citrus peel, in a final note of depth and light.
