92 pts Robert Parker - With a very bright golden appearance, Quinta dos Carvalhais Branco Especial is a sophisticated and very complex wine. Its bouquet has a prevalence of powder, truffle, some honey and dried fruits, as well as oak hints and warm spicy notes. It is a dense and close-knit wine and has a complex palate with a wide aromatic range. Its acidity is lively and very well-balanced with layers of aromas and oak notes from the years this wine matured in barrels. It is fantastically full-bodied and has an elegant finish.
