Wine Information
10 YEAR OLD TAWNY
Background Information
Taylor’s 10 year old tawny is a superb example of an aged tawny port, made from selected full red ports grown in the best vineyards of the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. The individual wines are laid down to age in oak casks of about 630 litres capacity for an average of 10 years, during which time they lose their initial dark purple-black colour and take on the delicate “tawny” hue from which the wine takes its name.
Mellow and elegant, combining delicate wood notes with rich aromas of mature fruit, Taylor’s aged tawnies are bottled for immediate drinking. Taylor’s 10 year old is traditionally drunk at the end of the meal. It is also an excellent dessert wine, especially good with dishes made with chocolate or almonds. In summer, it may be served cool.
