The Tawny Port, I’ll admit – not a wine I would normally
even think about trying as I’m not a big sweet wine drinker. ..BUT! I’m glad I tried it – it added a new wine to
my list and I’ll drink it again, given the chance – of course next time, I’ll
have some cheesecake with it. J
The Tawny Port’s rim variation was fairly red, but brown
around the edges, so it was definitely an older wine, that’s been stored in an
oak cask. The aromas were of sweet
smoke, with hints of cinnamon and the flavors…oh the flavors….very pungent on
the front of the palate with flavors of a spicy caramel, honey and sweet, sweet
coffee. It has a nice long finish, with
honey (again and still), and almost a little plum. There are a lot of flavors in this port and
if you like activity in your wine/port…this is the one to try.
I truly enjoyed the wine/port, as well as the company I had
while drinking it. Like I said, next
time I’ll have it with some cheesecake, as it’s definitely a dessert wine, but
awfully delicious.
The Warre’s founded
Otima in 1670 and are from Portugal.
They have been making wines/ports that have exceeded in medals, awards
and all kinds of good reviews for over 300 years. Give this port a try when given the
opportunity, as it is definitely one that won’t disappoint.
Cheers!!
