Descrizione

Questo Tawny è l'esempio perfetto dell'equilibrio tra la freschezza della frutta e l'eleganza del legno. Una miscela di vini invecchiati per un decennio in botti di rovere che si distingue per il suo affascinante colore mattone e un profilo aromatico intenso in cui dominano i frutti rossi maturi, le prugne secche e le note di fico. All’assaggio, la sua struttura è morbida e vellutata, rivelando una deliziosa complessità di cioccolato e caramello che si fonde in un finale persistente ed equilibrato. Un Porto imperdibile, compagno ideale di dessert al cioccolato fondente o formaggi erborinati.

Recensioni degli esperti

James Suckling:

Aromas of dried fruit, almonds and chocolate follow through to medium body. Medium sweet with light chocolate and dried plums. Drink now.

The Wine Advocate:

The NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2014 with 105.23 grams per liter of residual sugar. Easily the 10 with the most weight in the Fladgate group's lineup this issue, it is a rather powerful 10 year old Tawny with plenty of pop, the biggest and baddest of the trio (Fonseca, Croft and this). There is very fine concentration of flavor for a 10 year old Tawny. If I had a quibble, the alcohol shows at times, especially early on and rather notably when drunk a little too warm. (Around 60 degrees Fahrenheit is a lot better than room temperature most of the time, to be sure, not just here.) Overall, the weight, complexity, mouth feel and grip on the finish still make this my favorite of the group of 10s submitted by Taylor Fladgate this issue, although it's close and there are some pros and cons. This comes with a bar top cork, i.e., not intended to be aged (although it most certainly can hold a couple of decades barring cork failures).
