This appears to still show a deep ruby core with some tawny color toward the edge. Aromas and flavors tend toward fig, prune and sweet cherry. Medium acidity and medium finish. Alright, but nothing spectacular. Enjoyed with blueberry cheesecake accented with chopped nuts.

Caramel apple on the nose. Not too sweet for a port. Long on the finish, with an enjoyable freshness on the end. Very good for a 10 year old tawney. First time I buy port from this house. Plus 375ml bottle is nice to have. Some might think pricey, but it is very good. I will definitely go back and buy more bottles.

Purchased for $29. Bottled in 2022. Tasted for #tawnytuesday on 12/20 with Port Drinker. Dark amber in color with ruby highlights throughout. Initial nose of caramel and figs. Seemed a bit one dimensional. On the palate, this is a sweeter tawny. Fig, caramel and pipe tobacco. This is juicy, but not lively. George said it best: this is all easy-drinking Tawny. Balanced with no discernable heat. Agree with easy-drinking. Nothing that particularly stands out. Just an enjoyable Tawny that goes down easy and doesn't require you to sit and ponder. A good mid-week Tawny.
