Lovers of tawny should stock up. This is great.

December 2104

This 10 year Tawny has a lovely light garnet-brick colour. Complex aroma/flavour profile leading with a nutty rancio element followed by dried dark fruit, tea, marmalade, leather and old wood varnish. The palate is rich and viscous with fresh acidity that provides balance and creates a perception of medium sweet rather than lusciously so. Rounds out with pleasing alcohol warmth. Excellent length. April 2017.

Lovely nose of brown spices, caramel, burnt sugar, and fig aromas. The full-bodied palate is rich and sweet with white raisin, spicy, fig, and nutty flavours with a smooth texture and nicely balanced acids. Finishes long with spice and nutty notes. Tasted Feb/2020.

For me it was plummy with a caramel finish. It goes great with chocolate and was a good Valentine’s Day purchase. Cheers!

The port has a lovely brown tawny colour, and the taste is lovely at the start. However, the aftertaste did not suit me. Not my favourite for a 10 year old port.
