Carvalhas

Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha)

Quintas das Carvalhas Reserva Douro 2018

60% Touriga Nacional
20% Touriga Franca
20% Tinta Roriz

Dark purple color, with a lot of earthy components. Floral notes with a wooden accents, vanilla, and dark ripened fruit. All with a bit of leather. Nicely balanced with just a medium tannin structure. A lot softer than the flavors and scents give off. I think it’s delicious, and the 2018 is drinking quite primely right now.

Quinta das Carvalhas

Douro White Blend

Used as a cooking wine, but honestly better than the wine we had with dinner. Much drier and less acidic but with a touch of bitterness and astringency. Very floral and a lot of pear and green apple. Maybe a touch of pine or eucalyptus (?). Tasty — 2 years ago

Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Year Old Tawny Porto

Wow! Rich and deep. Much better than the 10 and better than the 20. A lot more flavor on the back of the tongue and it lasts longer! Big finish! — 3 years ago

Douro Red Blend 2015

Just opened and poured and tasted, the bouquet was strong dark fruit with floral notes. Still a dark red with no visible signs of being 10 years old. Full mouth, delicious, really impressive again! — a month ago

Least favorite of the total wine Portugal tries. Too much leather and Tobacco Matt liked. Got better as it opened. — a year ago

Quinta das Carvalhas LBV Late Bottled Vintage Port 2015

This prefect! It doesn't taste too sweet in the actual drinking, but leaves a slightly sweet, rich flavor in the mouth. Packs a punch withe alchol content. Bought at Total Wines. — 4 years ago

20 Year Old Tawny Porto Port Blend

9.2

While the nose is of prototypical tawny port with raisin, caramel, fig, cocoa, and sandalwood, the palate has a fruitier profile with subtle cherry flavor. Full and rich but not cloying - it’s actually on the drier end of the taste spectrum for a tawny.
Royal Oporto is a tawny-focus brand marketed by Real Companhia Velha which owns several quintas including Quinta das Carvalhas.

40 Year Old Tawny Porto

Very rich with lots of depth. Similar flavor profile to the 20 and 30 year, but more depth and complexity. — 3 years ago
