For this red port from Taylor's, the winemaker uses the renowned grape varieties Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional, which grow on very old vines. The vines' ideal climate—plenty of sunshine, a cool breeze, and the Douro River contribute to the quality of this 10-Year-Old Tawny. All bunches are hand-picked after a long aging period to ensure only the finest are used in the port. Because, as we mentioned before, quality is highly regarded.
Creating the right blend is pure craftsmanship, but leave that to Taylor's. Every year, they know how to gather the perfect barrels to create a 10-year-old port. In Taylor's cellars, a hundred barrels are waiting and maturing. This maturation period is crucial for achieving a smooth and rich port. Well, they've succeeded with this Taylor's 10-Year-Old Tawny. The aroma reveals beautiful hints of berries, coffee grounds, cocoa, and a touch of mocha. The taste is rich and very full, with refined nuances of dried fruit, cinnamon, chutney, and plums.
