Description
Red Portuguese Wine
Aged for 10 years in wood
Wine of Portugal
Best known for its legendary Vintage Ports, Taylor’s is also a leading producer of Aged Tawny. This style of Port acquires its characteristic ‘tawny’ colour, complex mellow flavours and smooth silky palate as it slowly matures in seasoned oak casks. Taylor’s 10 Year Old Tawny is a superb example of this style. Combining delicate wood notes with rich aromas of mature fruit, it is fully aged in wood for immediate enjoyment.
