TN: NV Real Companhia Velha Quinta das Carvalhas Reserva Tawny Port

WINE TALK
1

NV Quinta das Carvalhas Reserva Tawny Port by Real Companhia Velha. Cost was $20 (could have been $18 if I bought six or more bottles of something).

A dark tea color. The nose has lots of fig paste and licorice. The palate is mid-weight with enough acidity to keep it fresh. Molasses, dried figs, honey, and licorice on the palate. Still just a tiny touch of tannins still noticeable, but not distracting. The finish, while not terribly complex, was similar to the palate and lasted a fair amount of time. Overall, this is a nice Reserve Tawny. One I’d enjoy sipping anytime and one that would make a well priced house tawny.

Hah! This old producer went through a bad spell for decades and is now righting the ship. Some of their Douro wines are pretty killer at various price points as well.
