2000 "The Tawny" Port

Intensely concentrated cherry and dried plum flavors and aromas, with notes of black licorice, honeyed orange peel, sweet mahogany, and a fine thread of nutty caramel. It was aged in redwood tanks for 3 years, then neutral oak barrels for 6 more. The Tawny is a delicate blend of Souzao, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Cao (64%, 28%, 8%) from the 2000 vintage. Double Gold medal winner, Chairmen’s Best of Class.
