NV Graham Porto 10 Year Old Tawny, Portugal, Wine Review

This drinks (too) easy. Amber/Brown in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with fruitcake, chocolate and a touch of Crem Brulee. Full bodied. Slightly sweet. On the palate, this is delicious. Flavors of Caramel, Chocolate and Fruitcake. Long finish. This was nice outside by the fire on a Summer evening but would have been good inside by a winter fire. No food needed but some nuts and Blue Cheese would be fine. Drink over the next five to eight years.

Sometimes Tawny's get short shrift to vintage ports, but for the money, 20 year ports from top producers are well worth keeping around. The bottle can be opened and consumed over a period of weeks. This is one of the better ones. Amber in color, clear and bright. Lovely nose with toffee, caramel, burnt orange peel and slight nuttiness. Full bodied. There is some alcohol and heat on the palate, but more warming than hot. Flavors of toffee, caramel and slight chocolate notes.

A very nice ten year Tawny Port. Ten years is the average age of the wine which is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, and 25% Tinta Barroca. Iced tea in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with a nutty quality along with slight chocolate and a bit of Crème brûlée. Full bodied. Viscous. On the palate, this is sweet, not cloying with some alcohol showing (20% abv). It is complex and deep. Long finish. This is nice on its own and will work well with a less sweet dessert. Something nutty would be ideal, but even a Pecan Roll would work. So would a Snickers ba

Light brown/ruby in color. The nose has a lot of volatile acidity and alcohol which is unpleasant. There is some soy sauce, and a slightly nutty quality as well. Better on the palate. Thick texture. Slightly sweet. Nutty. Heat on the finish. This is for after dinner and food pairings might be a bit difficult. Perhaps some nuts. It's possible that this was not a proper bottle or had been mis-stored at some point. It is not bad, but one would expect a bit more.
