Description
The 2022 bottling of the NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port still has signs of youth and some ruby/red color in it, with notes of cherries in liqueur intermixed with nuts and spice, with lots of depth and complexity. I think the 10 year old is a category that is somewhere in between, still a little young but with some development and good complexity. That can be explained due to the fact that it's a blend of older and younger wines, and this is 10 years on average (or style) and, in my book, very good value for the category. It has 19.5% alcohol and 110 grams of sugar. 25,000 bottles produced.
