Description and Reviews:
Quinta Das Carvalhas Vintage Port is a field blend from old vines from the centenary vineyard. It is the top Port from the estate and needs some serious ageing to realise its full potential.

Tasting Notes
Deep purple with intense aromas of fresh blackberries and cherries and hints of floral fragrance. On the palate it is soft and approachable despite its young age, packed with jammy berry fruit and cinnamon spice. It shows good structure with high acidity, full body and ripe tannins that will allow it to age for at least three decades in the bottle.

Serving Tips & Food Pairing
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.
