Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Port

***90 Points - Wine Enthusiast*** 10 Year Old Tawny
For a 10-year-old Port, this is impressively mature, showing plenty of wood-aging flavors that have fully embraced the more youthful fruitiness. Sweet and with hints of caramel, this is a fine, ripe Port to be drunk now. — Roger Voss
***90 points- Wine Enthusiast***2017 LBV
With a good sense of structure, this ripe and generous Port is rich. Dried fruits and acidity balance each other over a backdrop of tannins. Drink the wine now. — Roger Voss
