Graham's 10 Year Old Tawny Port, 75 cl (Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

It has a deep tawny colour. ON THE NOSE, it shows complex nutty aromas combined with hints of honey and figs. ON THE PALATE, rich mature fruit flavours, beautifully mellowed with a luscious long finished.

Tawny ports are paler brown or amber in colour, with a more mellow taste. That typically comes from a longer period ageing in wood, which can impart distinct flavours of dried fruit and nuts.

Vintage ports are the top-quality red ports from a single year – and only the best years. They’re aged in wood for just a couple of years. Unlike most ports, they have the potential to develop in the bottle (more on that later). Tawny keeps better than vintage since it’s already been exposed to air during maturation. Kept in the fridge or cellar, a tawny port can be enjoyed many weeks after the bottle is opened. Ruby port is the youngest and cheapest style of red port. The best of these are bright, fruity and peppery.

Geosmin is a chemical compound that can give wines and ports an unpleasant, earthy odour, usually the result of using grape crops having been affected by rot.Store the bottle horizontally in a dark place with constant temperature, ideally between 12ºC and 15ºC. Have you ever fancied a really big bottle of Port? This Grahams 10 Year Old is presented in a 4.5L bottle, that is 6 standard bottles of Port in one big bottle. This makes a great centrepiece for a wedding or celebration and would look mightily impressive on any sideboard or bar and the good thing about a tawny Port is you don’t need to hurry up and drink it. Port is a Portuguese fortified wine often enjoyed alongside a cheese board, after a big meal or simply as a relaxing evening treat. There’s no right or wrong time to enjoy a glass of port. On British and Portuguese tables, it’s often served at the end of a meal. In France, it’s often enjoyed before a meal – or poured over melon. Late bottled vintage ports are of even higher initial quality, and are matured in wood for four or five years.
