Niepoort 10 Years Old Tawny Port Wine, sweet, % vol., Portugal

Tawnys with an age statement such as `10 Years` are blended from various wines with an average age of 10 years. Extended aging in small wooden barrels gives it its characteristic tawny color. The key characteristics of an aged tawny are complexity of aromas, freshness, a persistent bouquet, and a sustained finesse. After dinner, an aged tawny pairs well with cheese and especially chocolate-based desserts. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif and served at room temperature or slightly chilled. 93 Parker points.
