Quinta de Carvalhas 50-Year-Old Tawny Port

Light-amber with a shy nose reminiscent of dried herbs, walnuts and cigar box. The creamy, energetic palate has caramel character and extraordinary acidity. Dense and unctuous but discreetly sweet. Made from a 1967 colheita and a more flavorful wine from 1978, plus 5% from a 1920s vintage. Drink now. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 16, 2024)
