Tasting Notes

Aroma

A luscious bouquet releasing aromas of fruit (grapefruit, apricot, almonds, hazlenuts and cocoa), vanillan oak, roasted flavours (cinnamon, caramel, coffee) and a hint of spirit.

Maturation

Average age 25 years.

Appearance

Tawny red with an orange hue and an amber halo.

Palate

Fine and delicate with an elegance sustained by the complex interplay of ripe and dried fruits. Harmonious, fresh and velvety on the palate ending on a round long finish of richness and generosity.

Winemakers Comments

In 1976, Ramos Pinto began a detailed and ongoing research project to select the best grape varieties for the production of quality Port. Five varietals selected by Ramos Pinto were subsequently adopted by the Authorities for all new plantings in the region: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cao. Following ageing of the two to three years at the lodges in Ramos Pinto's Quintas in the Douro Valley, the wines acquire a specific character. They are then brought down to the Vila Nova de Gaia and blended according to the desired style. Port production is governed by very strict regulations whcih guarantee the authenticity of the wines. The Port Wine Institute grants the producer a certificate of origin and a seal of quality only after each blend has been tasted, analysed and approved for export.

Such beautiful harmony of vivid fruit and aged complexity. Expect black tea, persimmons, chocolate, dates, saffron and just a hint of caramel. Medium- to full-bodied and well-knit, this has a lush, lingering finish with a touch of bittersweet oranges at the end. Pure and intense. So delicious now. Points: 95/100

A plump and engaging tawny, with caramel, toffee, cinnamon and fruitcake notes weaving around the mulled cherry and plum fruit. Toasted sesame flavors show on the warm finish. Drink now. Points: 92/100

At 20 years, aged tawnies bear fruit and concentrated wood flavors, plus dry acidity. This is rich and poised, and it has a fine, full finish. Editors’ Choice. Points: 92/100

Expert’s Choice - 20 year old Tawny

Mid-deep amber colour with a slight olive-green tinge to the rim. Rich, open, caramelised orange on the nose, lifted with the merest hint of rancio. Toasty caramelised flavours, gaining richness in the mouth with a succulent finish. Deliciously complex and beautifully balanced. Points: 91/100
