and wind exposure for growing excellent wine grapes and producing great Douro and Port wines.
On the Cima Corgo sub-region, and only 10 miles away from Peso da Régua, Quinta da Devesa vineyard and winery are located on
a promontory which overlooks the confluence of the rivers Douro and Corgo, from where an wonderful sight can be enjoyed, covering
the valleys of the rivers and mountains of the region.

facing south, getting an excellent sun exposure, and part facing the buttresses of Marão, where it receives natural fresh winds.
This diversity of solar and wind exposure causes different levels of grape maturation, allowing timing of harvest in optimal conditions
and producing wines with differentiated characteristics and evolutions.

“The 30 Years White Port is a field blend from old vines (50 plus years). It was bottled in
July 2015 with 104 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is not necessarily head and
shoulders over the 20 Year tasted this issue, but it is very different. Much darker in
color, its main flavor difference comes from its far superior complexity. If it lacks the
fresh vibrancy of the 20, it is hardly old, dying or decayed. It is a prime time white Port.
Moreover, it finishes with a fascinating array of old Tawny-like flavors, including just a
whiff here and there of brandy as it airs and warms. Simply beautiful, this seals the deal
with its seemingly endless finish. It's gorgeous. You'll love tasting it because it is
delicious. It's also a wine to contemplate, probably my favorite white Port of this report.“

“At 30-years-old, white Port and its more familiar cousin tawny Port are almost alike in
their spice, wood and intense character. The differences with white Ports, as here, are
their greater fruitiness, spice and of course their beautiful gold color. They offer a fine,
concentrated wine that should be drunk now”

“The 20 Years White Port is a field blend from old vines (50 plus years). It was bottled
in January 2015 with 105 grams per liter of residual sugar. Fresh, lovely and
delectable, this is perfectly balanced, focused and young. There isn't a lot of
complexity early on (noting that this a 20), but it does show some more mature flavors
as it airs and warms. Impeccably balanced, this is a beautiful 20 that lingers endlessly
and tastes just great.”

“Sweet nutty notes of marzipan blended with toasty blanched almonds and a hint of
spirit. Soft, smooth and well rounded, the interplay on the palate was its significant
advantage. It was extremely light-bodied to a point that few Tawnies I can remember
have been that vinous, while crème caramel and flavors of Frangelico came to mind.
The finish was medium in length and ended with a warm hazelnut nuance.”

“With good wood-aging aromas, this is a more mature style of aged tawny. The wood
flavors come through strongly, bringing out acidity, coffee and dried raisins. Well
balanced, it finishes with great acidity.”

“The first thing I noted was the distinctive heat from the aguardente that wafted out of
the glass, along with fragrances of praline and a minor medicinal note. Like the 10 year
old that preceded this glass, I was surprised at how light weight this was, although from
a textural standpoint, I preferred the 20 to the 10, which showed more sophistication.
However, the flavors in the 10 year old seemed more evolved and overall; my
preference went to the 10. Nonetheless, the wood influence here delivered notes of
toffee, apricot preserves and a candied caramelized nuttiness that I preferred to the
aromatic profile. The finish was a bit clipped, but overall this was a well-made 20 year
old "tawny-light”

“The 30-Year Old Porto is slightly deeper in color than the 10-Year Old. The nose is
complex: balsam, dried honey, linseed and creme brulee, wood resin scents – all quite
mercurial and ever-changing in the glass. The palate is smooth and harmonious,
slightly more viscous and honeyed than the 10-Year Old, with great weight on the
finish. There are heady allspice, clove and hazelnut notes here, touches of tamarind
and white pepper following later. What a lovely 30-Year Old!”

“The third tawny in the lineup, naturally was the 30 year old which had a really great
nose of singed caramel, over-ripe nectarines, a distinct roasted character hinting at
Douro bake and a gently protruding essence of aguardente -- warm but not hot. Clearly
the Devesa house style for their Tawny Ports is to keep things light and elegant and
silky texturally. Soft, evolved nutty nuances and the most exotic flavors of the first three
in the lineup, including dried dates and peaches, and sweet pecan pie. The finish was
long and imbued with a stylish interplay of tropical fruit and caramelized nuttiness.”

“Dark gold in color, rich and on the dry side, this is a very fine wine from a family-
owned quinta close to Régua. The long wood aging has introduced great concentration
to the dried fruits and burnt toffee flavors. Marmalade and surprising freshness give the
wine a lift. It is ready to drink now.”

“The 40-Year Old Port (technically +40, although that would have buggered up the
search engine) has a clear, deep mahogany color, although there a little more
reddishness here compared to the 30-Year Old. The nose is more volatile than the 30-
Year Old – this is feisty and boisterous and refuses to act its age. I kind of like that and
it soon calms down to offer aromas of balsam, cloves, shaved ginger, fig and
marjoram. The palate is lively and bright with the right amount of VA to give it a kick
without unbalancing the layers of spicy honeyed fruit. Nutmeg, orange rind, black
pepper, tamarind and dried apricots toward the finish somehow evoke images of
Morocco. Wonderful!”
