NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Taylor’s 10-Year-Old Tawny Port is a sumptuous and delicious wine.On the nose, it offers aromas of dried fruit, honey, and a hint of toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine has a complex, layered flavor profile, with notes of figs, dates, and raisins joining the toasted almond character. The finish is long and lingering, with a well-balanced sweetness and a pleasant nutty character. It is a delightful sipper and pairs especially well with sweet desserts.

ORIGINS

Winery: Taylor's

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
