Ramos-Pinto Quinta da Ervamoira 10 Year Old Port Rated 95DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 95
From a beautifully located estate in the Douro Superior, this was shared with friends on my birthday in July last year, and it's a perfect summer Port: russet tawny with rich, ripe aromas and a backdrop of spicy caramel. Still fruit-driven on the palate, there's soft, ripe summer fruit and a lovely mellow texture spiced with a dusting of tannins, leading to a rich, voluptuous finish. Serve cool but don't overchill.

Its aroma is rich and inviting, showcasing fruity notes of orange, apricot, and plum, alongside woody undertones derived from vanilla and aged Port wine casks. This tawny variety offers a delightful fusion of fresh fruit flavors and the influence of wood aging on the palate. It boasts a well-structured profile, striking a harmonious balance between the fruit and alcohol content. The initial taste experience is velvety and full-bodied, followed by a refreshing burst of soft fruitiness that concludes with a subtle acidic and woody nuance.
