This port is made from the very best grape varieties found in the Douro region. These grow on very old vines and produce a top-notch harvest that is harvested entirely by hand. All port wines are stored in Port Pipes, or port barrels, for aging. For this 10-Year-Old Port, winemaker Paulo Coutinho and master blender Jeremy Bull create a port with an average age of 10 years. Extensive tasting is conducted to create the perfect blend between the different vintages. The result is outstanding, with great depth and richness in this Portal 10-Year-Old Port.
It's quite a special experience, as it's very smooth. But let's start with the intense color, which tinges brownish-red in the glass with a slight purple hue. The most beautiful aromas emerge, giving us impressions of roasted walnuts, candied fruit, almonds, and a touch of toffee. The palate is intense, leaving the palate with beautiful, rich flavors of dried fruit, delicious chocolate and spices, nuts and cherries, and a hint of orange. Later, the palate and finish reveal a lovely freshness with plenty of soft black fruit flavors.
