Sandeman 10 Year Old Tawny NV

Sandeman 10 Year Old Tawny, Portugal, NV

Grapes: Typical Douro blend of Tinta Amarela, Tinta Baroque, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, 110g/L residual sugar

Producer Tasting Note:

The intense red tawny colour with shades of brick, typical of this style of aged yet youthful wine, anticipates the elegant and complex aroma, combining ripe fruit, jam and nuts, with hints of vanilla and raisins. In the mouth, Sandeman Porto Tawny 10 Years Old is a most flavoursome wine, full-bodied and appealing, with a persistent finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"The youngest in the great range of Sandeman aged tawnies, this 10-year-old brings out fruit as well as wood flavors. That gives the wine freshness to balance its natural richness, spice and fine acidity. Dried fruits come through at the end. The wine is, like all aged tawnies, ready to drink"

90/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, May 2020

"The NV 10 Years Old Tawny Porto is a typical Douro blend... and 110 grams of residual sugar. Dark in flavor overtones, this is a 10 Year Tawny that seems rather serious and complex but still light and friendly. It doesn't project a lot of focus or concentration, but it's reasonable enough for a 10 Year. Then, it adds caressing texture, while its complexity is better than the norm. This is very nice. It drinks great now. It should hold a couple of decades if you must hold it, but that's not the point here." Drink 2022-2040
