Description
This 2007 Vintage Port can be enjoyed young for its powerful fruit, but it is also designed to age for decades. Over time, the wine will develop more complex tertiary flavors such as dried fruits, nuts, and more pronounced spice.
Tasting Notes
The 2007 Quinta Das Carvalhas is a very deep and black purple colour. A very concentrated and fruity aroma, with jammy, blackberries and plum notes. The great mouthfeel reveals all the complexity flavour of fruit, full-bodied and balanced wine with soft and velvety background and a long and lasting finish.
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.

Reviews
Score: 95 Points James Suckling
25 Jul, 2024 – Crushed dark fruits, licorice and a touch of underbrush. Elegant, this shows polished tannins and toffee combined with bramble-fruit character. Will continue to evolve for a long time. Drink now or hold.
Wine Spectator: 92 points
Described as having a robust and concentrated character with deep fruit flavors. The review highlights the port's powerful structure and the potential for long-term aging.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 points
The review notes that this port is bold and structured, with rich fruit flavors balanced by firm tannins. It suggests that while the wine is enjoyable now, it will benefit from further aging to develop more complexity.
