CARM Vintage Port 2008 20% ABV 0.75 l
£49.62
The CARM Vintage Port 2008 20 % is an exceptional vintage port from Portugal’s renowned Douro Valley and ranks amongst the very finest port wines. Presented in a 0.75-litre bottle, this vintage port is a striking example of an outstanding vintage, vinified exclusively from the finest grapes of the harvest. The CARM – Casa Agrícola Roboredo Madeira winery is committed to sustainable viticulture and the highest quality standards, combining traditional production methods with modern expertise. The grapes come from the steep, slate-rich slopes of the Douro, whose unique terroir lends the wines their unmistakable depth and complexity. Following a comparatively short ageing period in wooden casks, the wine undergoes a long maturation process in the bottle, resulting in a Vintage Port with exceptional ageing potential and impressive elegance.
The CARM Vintage Port 2008 impresses with its immense concentration, harmonious structure and ability to continue developing over many years. As a classic vintage port, it is bottled unfiltered and may develop a natural sediment as it matures; decanting is therefore recommended before drinking. Its powerful style, combined with an elegant freshness and finely integrated tannins, makes it an ideal companion for special moments of indulgence. Whether as a premium dessert wine, a stylish digestif or a highlight for collectors and connoisseurs of mature Ports – this Vintage Port from Portugal epitomises the highest quality and the time-honoured winemaking tradition of the Douro.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the CARM Vintage Port 2008 displays a deep ruby red colour with garnet-red highlights. On the nose, intense aromas of black cherries, blackberries, cassis and plums unfold, accompanied by subtle notes of dark chocolate, spices, violets and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it is powerful, concentrated and complex, with dense fruit, silky tannins and perfectly balanced acidity. The finish is exceptionally long-lasting, elegant and characterised by dark fruits, spices and a subtle mineral note.
The CARM Vintage Port 2008 reveals its full aroma when served at a temperature of 16–18 °C. It pairs superbly with blue cheese, mature hard cheese, dark chocolate, chocolate desserts, walnuts or dried fruit. This Vintage Port is also ideal as a dessert wine or as a stylish digestif following a festive meal.
