A complex and nuanced flavour profile, where layers of dried fruits, nuts, and spices are beautifully balanced by notes of caramel and subtle oak. The 20-year aging also gives the wine its deep amber hue, characteristic of a finely matured tawny port. On the palate, Quinta das Carvalhas 20 Year Old Tawny is velvety and rich, with a smooth, lingering finish that speaks to its quality and the expertise behind its production.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if paired with treacle tart, nutty cakes, dried fruits, or rich cheeses.

31 Aug, 2024 – Medium-deep mahogany color. This shows dried apricots, hints of cedar and a touch of toffee. Explosive and energetic on the palate, it has lots of caramel character and intense and racy acidity derived from aging. Mostly 20 years old but with a small component of 15-year-old and 25- to 50-year-old wines. Drink now.

At the perfect moment of aging, this 20-year-old Port is smoothly textured and rich in dried fruits that are balanced by wood and spice flavors. This is a very fine wine, ready to drink now. — Roger Voss
