Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny Port

A blend of Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Amarela,Sousão and Tinta Roriz . Sustainable, Organic, Biodynamic.  Tawnies with an age indication such as “10 years” are blended from different wines averaging 10 years old. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic colour. After dinner, old tawny is a good match with cheeses and especially chocolate based desserts. It can also be drunk as an aperitif, serve at room temperature or lightly chilled. Tawny in colour, with aromas of dried apricots and crystallized tangerine peel well integrated with a nutty character, and flavors of orange and lemon peel, with hints of toffee, caramel and honey. Full bodied and luscious, with lots of sweet fruit and a long subtle finish that goes on and on. This is really the benchmark for 10-year-old tawnies.

95 points, Wine Spectator. "Amazing aromas of orange and lemon peel, with hints of toffee, caramel and honey. Full-bodied and luscious, with lots of sweet fruit and a long, subtle finish that goes on and on. A benchmark for 10-year-old tawnies."

94 points, Decanter. "Aged in small 550L old oak casks in Niepoort’s cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, this svelte 10-year-old has detail and an appetizing, salty edge to its dried plum, pear, apricot and candied citrus palate. Hints of chinato herbs, iodine, walnut and cassia bark add interest. Light on its feet, with an elegant, uplifting finish."
