Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha)
Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Porto, Douro, Portugal
The "vintage" is the bottling year. Lovely dark fruit, (figs, raisins, plums) along with some molasses sweetness. Sweet Mother makes a pronounced guest appearance. She's always welcome.
Update: she's been hanging out on my counter and has opened up, exposing even more raisiny dark fruit delightfulness. Sweet Mother has been blended nicely into its fold of tasty happiness. To quote a great wine aficionado, smiling on a Monday is better than not smiling. Go Tigers!
