The NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port is a blend of 35% Touriga Franca, 16% Tinta Roriz, 20% Tinta Barroca, 15% Touriga Nacional and miscellaneous others. It comes in at 122 grams per liter of residual sugar. Sexy, sweet and elegant, this has a burst of flavor with a wave of fresh caramel. It is not particularly concentrated or intense. It is a 10 Year Old, of course, a category not known for either. On its own terms, it is very tasty and goes down easy. This was bottled in 2015 with a bar-top cork.

The wine shows considerable wood aging flavors as well as the sweet toffee and fruit flavors. The wood spice is too dominant and throws the rest of the wine out of balance.
