1970 Royal Oporto Carvalhas
1970 Royal Oporto Quinta Das Carvalhas
Some initial heat, not lots of fruit but enough to keep this interesting. Probably not going to get any better with age, but a very enjoyable port for now. And much better than my memory of the regular 1970 Royal Oporto.
I don't normally get round to posting pictures, but this is quite an unusual bottle, so hopefully this has worked

Did this see you through until Prior's heroics in the early hours?
