Ramos Pinto Tawny 10 Year Old Quinta de Ervamoira

Product description

Made from high-quality wines of the Quinta de Ervamoira by blending harvests of different years.  The new wines make it robust and fresh, while the oldest wines give it complexity and 'lineage'.  A well-rounded generous aroma, with balance and a hint of wine.  Fruit aromas include orange, apricot, and plum. Vanilla and old Port wine casks make up its woody aromas.  This is a fruity tawny variety.  The attack on the palate is smooth and full-bodied.  Following the initial oily feel, a fresh, soft fruitiness appears which finishes with a slightly acidic, woody note.  A good structure and perfect balance between fruit and alcohol.  

92 Points - Wine Spectator     Redolent of cherry tart, dried black fig and plum pudding flavors, with accents of hazelnut. The fruity finish is loaded with Asian spice and dark chocolate notes

92 Points - Decanter     Rich, warm caramel and dried plum aromas lead to a soft mouthful of red fruits with striking peppery notes, nuttiness and coffee.

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     The NV Quinta da Ervamoira Tawny RP 10 Year Old Port comes in at 106 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is the new 2015 bottling. Beautifully focused and balanced, this has fine mid-palate weight for the category and a complex medley of concentrated flavors on the finish. Quite gripping, it is beautifully done and rather impressive, while always remaining graceful and impeccably balanced. There is very respectable tension on the finish, too, that enlivens the wine. Taste this in isolation and you'll think my score is pretty stingy, but remember that there does need to be some headroom when we step up to the long-aged Tawny treasures. This may have been my favorite 10 Year Tawny this issue.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast     From the farthest reaches of the upper Douro, Quinta da Ervamoira has produced this sun-drenched wine, with great raisin flavors that vie with a fruity red-berry character. Both sweet from the dried fruits and dry from the intense acidity, with a light cocoa aftertaste, it is a balanced wine that can be drunk now.

90 Points - Wilfred Wong of Wine     A fiery wood-style port, the Ramos Pinto 10 year Tawny shows a nice juxtaposition of red fruit and creamy wood. The wine's medium to full bodied palate and lively aftertaste make an excellent choice with a milk chocolate mousse topped with fresh whipped cream.
