Description and Reviews:
The 2018 Vintage Port is a standout offering from one of the most prestigious estates in the Douro Valley. This port is crafted from a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, sourced from old vines at Quinta das Carvalhas, which is known for producing top-quality, age-worthy port wines.
Tasting Notes
Deep, almost opaque purple with a complex aroma of ripe black fruits, violet, spice, and chocolate. Its full-bodied, robust tannins and deep flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and minerality make it an ideal choice for aging. Although enjoyed young for its fruit intensity, it will develop complexity and smoothness over time, making it ideal for cellaring.
Serving Tips & Storage
When mature this port will need to be decanted to remove sediment. Serve at room temperature on its own, with steak or vintage mature blue cheeses or top quality chocolate bars.
