Royal Oporto 10-Year-Old Port

Description

During its ageing process, its young characteristics of fruit aromas and flavours begin to disappear and are replaced by subtle, mellow notes where it is possible to predict reminiscences of spice, nuts, licorice, vanilla and fruit jam.
At this time, the experience and knowledge of Real Companhia Velha’s Master Port Blender is essential to predict future developments in these wines and anticipate the touch each Port will bring to the 10 years blend. The aromas and falvours of these wines are in the hands of the Master Port Blender, who seeks to create a yet another fine representative of Real Companhia Velha’s Ports.

A wine of tawny colour with shades of gold, showing off a magnificent bouquet of mature fruit and spice and a harmoniously mellow structure. Its youth is evident, yet very complex, recognition of its ageing in oak.

“90/10. While it is quite dark in color, this wine still has plenty of good, 10-Year Old fresh fruit flavors. Perfumed and delicate, it has light sweetness and a good layer of fruit and wood acidity, leaving a dry aftertaste. Its quality is an indication of the impressive improvements that have occurred at Royal Oporto in recent years.” (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 01.08.06.)
