Description
Taylor's 10 Year Old Tawny
Grapes: A blend of 34% Touriga Nacional, 33% Touriga Francesa & 33% Touriga Francesa
An exceptionally fine old tawny blend, aged for an average of 10 years in oak casks. Elegant and smooth, combining delicate wood notes and rich mellow fruit, it is bottled for immediate drinking.
Deep brick colour with amber rim. Rich and elegant nose combining aromas of ripe berry fruit with a delicate nuttiness and subtle mellow notes of chocolate, butterscotch and fine oak wood. Smooth and silky on the palate and full of ripe figgy, jammy flavours which persist on the long finish.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Incredible concentration of dried raisins, perfectly balanced with incredibly fruity acidity. Dried apricot, dried plum and an everlasting finish"
Gold Medal, International Wine Challange, 2023
"A sweet fortified red wine made from a blend of typical regional varieties grown in the Baixo Corgo and Cima Corgo regions of the Douro, aged for an average of 10 years in wooden casks of approximately 630 liters. Always consistent, this is another excellent batch of this wine, which displays ripe cherries in syrup followed by floral notes, dried fruits and sweet spices, all balanced by its refreshing acidity and velvety tannins. It has a captivating finish, with hints of butter, caramel and ripe red fruits in compote. Try it with milk pudding, you won't regret it."
92/100 points, Revista Adega (Brazil), October 2023
Excellent with soft cheeses such as brie; and a superb dessert wine, particularly with dishes made with coffee or almonds, Taylor 10 Year Old Tawny is delicious served lightly chilled at the end of the meal.
