Porto Tawny - 10 Years Old - Taylor's

Taylor’s Porto Tawny 10 Years Old is a fortified wine in the tawny style, suited to those who enjoy a more mature, rounded profile than that of young, fruit-forward expressions. The ten-year indication identifies an age category stated on the label; it does not necessarily represent the age of every individual component. In the glass, expect an amber hue and an aromatic profile that, in keeping with the style, may suggest nuts, dried fruit and subtle hints of spice or caramel. The overall impression tends to be smooth and enveloping, with sweetness and freshness in balance, without necessarily feeling heavy.

This is a Porto to sip slowly, either at the end of a meal or on a special occasion. It generally pairs well with nuts, fruit- or caramel-based desserts and aged cheeses; the contrast with less sweet dishes can bring out its softer side. It may be served slightly chilled to keep its aromatic profile clear. Its versatility also makes it a suitable choice for anyone wishing to explore age-indicated Tawny Ports without seeking a particularly austere wine. It is best stored according to the directions on the label and consumed within a reasonable time after opening.
