Highlights

  • The Style: Vintage Port is the undisputed king of Douro wines, crafted only in the most exceptional years. It spends a maximum of two and a half years in large oak vats before being bottled unfiltered, allowing it to mature and evolve anaerobically (without oxygen) for decades.
  • Historic Legacy: Produced by Real Companhia Velha under their prestigious Royal Oporto label, drawing on winemaking expertise that dates back to the company's royal charter in 1756.
  • Vintage Profile: 2007 was a landmark, universally declared vintage in the Douro Valley. Characterized by a cooler growing season and a perfect harvest, the 2007s are celebrated for their extraordinary purity of fruit, highly aromatic floral notes, and a vibrant, structuring acidity that promises immense longevity.
  • Aging Profile: Now approaching 20 years of age, this Port is entering a beautiful drinking window where the vigorous primary fruit begins to seamlessly integrate with savory, complex tertiary notes, though it still possesses the structure to age for decades longer.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a deep, opaque ruby with a slight garnet hue forming at the rim, this classic 2007 Vintage Port opens with an elegantly perfumed bouquet. Pure aromas of crushed blackberry, cassis, and dark plum are lifted by vibrant floral notes of wild violet and Douro rock rose (esteva). As it breathes, it reveals sophisticated layers of dark chocolate, peppery spice, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied, lusciously sweet, and impeccably structured. The firm, polished tannins are beautifully enveloped by rich dark fruit and driven by a streak of fresh acidity, leading to a remarkably long, graceful finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly chilled at 60-64°F (16-18°C) in a standard Port glass to maintain its structural elegance and keep the alcohol in balance.
  • Decanting: Essential. Vintage Port is unfiltered and throws a heavy sediment (crust) over time. Stand the bottle upright for 24 hours, then decant carefully 2 to 3 hours before serving to allow the aromatics to blossom. It is a majestic pairing for blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, or rich, dark chocolate desserts. Consume within 48 hours of opening.
