NV Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Posted: Sun May 13, 2018 3:22 pm
This has a light amber color, bottled in 2017. Very slight licorice nose, fig raisin date flavor, very similar to the Australian ports--Yalumba, Trafford, Bullers.
It's been a long time since I had any of those, but this port may be slightly flawed as it seems a bit cloying. Slightly woody. It was better after 2 or 3 days. But I wonder if I'd have been better off to buy the 20 year---spend more and drink less.
