Tawny Port Wine

Barossa Valley, Australia - The palate is richly flavored with fruitcake, dark chocolate and brulee, integrated and seamless with a persistent aftertaste of honey, dried fruits and caramelized toffee lingering on the finish.

Douro, Portugal -"Pale red-mahogany in colour with an olive-green tinge to the rim. Gloriously lifted and maderised on the nose with a touch of sultana, molasses and roasted coffee. Rich and beautifully intense on the palate; a smooth, slightly syrupy resonance..."

Portugal - "...It offers an immediate hit of jasmine, a scent of beeswax and figs, a butterscotch buzz...open, welcoming wine, saturated with fruit in shades of nectarine, plum and peach pit. It's somehow zesty in its caramelized generosity..."

Portugal - "While not a declared vintage Port year, it did produce some impressive old tawnies, like this. It is such a balanced wine, fresh with ripe marmalade, raisin and old wood flavors. It has a wonderful milk chocolate aftertaste that is contrasted with its still-fresh acidity."

Portugal - Douro - 1896 - "This is very intense, with burnt brown sugar, toffee, caramel, treacle tart, burnt orange peel, turpentine, and volatile notes. Full-bodied, very sweet and dense like molasses. The finish is intense and powerful with an acetone note to the caramel character."

Douro, Portugal - Taylor Fladgate Single Harvest 1971 is a wonderful wine and an exquisite expression of the art of wood ageing, which Taylor Fladgate has refined over the ...

Porto, Portugal- "A juicy and energetic tawny, featuring a live wire of acidity running through the middle of a mix of singed peanut and hazelnut, dried cherry and raspberry and red licorice notes. Offers a long, focused finish."

Portugal - "With the benefit of 20 years in wood, this suave colheita has a pale tawny hue, subdued but classic Christmas cake perfume leading to a silky-textured palate, a dusting of peppery spice followed by a sweet, mellifluous yet lithe finish. Delicious!"

Porto, Portugal - "Mingling a bright feel with some dark caramel and molasses popping up on the finish, this is very fine. Basically a 20 year Tawny, this shows fine concentration of flavor and aromatics for its relatively young age."

Douro, Portugal- "...this has the lushest and sweetest edge but equally fine structure and balance. Long on the finish, fresh but sexy, powerful but well integrated, this is brilliant."

Porto, Portugal - "Dark and stern, this young Colheita shows off more treacle and molasses than I would typically expect at this young age. It seems older than the vintage date suggests, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a young Colheita..."

Porto, Portugal - "In this big vintage, you get mouth-coating fruit and texture, fine depth and a delicious finish. You get a little extra oomph here, I think. The finish is laced with classic caramel and chocolate. It is fresh and rich, in great shape."

Portugal - Warm and enchanting aromas of salted caramel, coffee, toffee, dried figs, licorice root, and spice billow from the glass. Sweet on entry, with candied flavors or caramel cream and candied apple, quickly building to a crescendo of clove, walnut, and hints of espresso.

"Vivid golden colour. Rich and elegant nose, combining the dried fruits aromas with the aromatic wood notes. Soft and silky in the taste, full with ripe figs and sweet flavours. A sensation of depth, in an elegant and distinctive style. Perfect and overwhelming finish."
