Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha)
Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Opened 375ml bottle. Made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca by blending wines that are matured for a minimum of 10 years. Nice topaz color with gentle sweet aromas of spice and almonds. On the palate dried red fruit flavors, well balanced with lively acidity, very fresh taste. Lingering finish ending with pleasant oak and honey tones. One of the best 10 year Tawny's I have tasted. The 375ml was a perfect size.

Nov 12th, 2018Enjoying a new port with my wine buddy. The top note is spicy with a kick. There is a fruity element. Underneath its dry and smooth. We like.

May 9th, 2024Pretty good for a 10 year but still has an astringent after effect.

Jul 9th, 2022Medium garnet hue. Aromas of brown sugar, caramel, maple syrup, pralines, prunes, raisin, and vanilla. Full body, with medium tannins and medium-minus acidity. Bunches of dried fruit on the palate and a smooth texture. A lovely dessert wine--pairs deliciously with dark chocolate and soft cheese.
