Special Reserve Tawny Port
A blend of our cellar’s best cask aged Tawny Ports averaging 8 years. The result is a smooth and complex Tawny Port.
TASTING NOTES
Colour
Garnet core with brick edge
AROMA
This Tawny is quite complex combining a fresh and young character of dried red fruits while developing the aged Port aromas like plums, raisins, fresh hazelnuts and almonds.
PALATE
Nice spicy entry on the palate followed by a touch of red fruits. The mid palate is filled with dried fruits while the finish complements its complexity by adding layers of spices and caramel. The balance between acidity, sugar, and alcohol is perfect leaving a drier feeling that is most welcome.
