This bottle had been in my cellar for about eight years. The cork fell apart on removal. Flavors are perhaps a bit more oxidized than normal but the overall result remains outstanding. Moderate color with a significant browning. Aromas of vanilla and acid and raisins. Flavors of cherry, raisins, caramel, butterscotch, toffee, vanilla, and more. Would be lovely with a creme brulee as suggested earlier. Lovely 10 year tawny!

Butterscotch, toffee, and caramel all the way here. Light acidity, but what a tawny. Label says the blend is an average of 10 years, but the richness tastes like something much older.

This is an excellent 10 year tawny. The caramel is almost overwhelming, with loads of vanilla and hint of maple syrup at the end. Would have paired perfectly with creme brulee.. Very enjoyable! Was a perfect match for La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero....I am lamenting I only bought 1 bottle....

Excellent, showing quite a bit of aged tawny character.

Absolutely stunning tawny. Silky smooth. Dulce de Leche, almond praline, butterscotch and vanilla essence. Long finish.

Lovely Aussie port - rich, complex, and smooth. A wonderful value ($27 for 500 ml). Will search out more of this.

Found bottle 2/3 empty, seal cracked but cork in place. It was stuck to the box it was in, so I'm guessing the wine seeped out.

Rich and smooth in every way. Notes of butterscotch, brown sugar, molasses and nuts. A finish that lingers for a considerable time.

Great tawny style. Deep rich sweetness. Nutty and honey on the nose and palate. Moderately long palate.
