10 Years Old Tawny Port N/V

- 88 points -

The NV 10 Years Old Tawny Port (Maynard's) comes in at 104 grams per liter of residual sugar and was bottled in 2015. Friendly and laid back, this has an easy going feel with lush fruit and a sweet finish. It has just enough concentration of flavor to be a real tawny and the finish is surprisingly persistent for a wine that seemed so elegant and unassuming, but it is a bit unfocused. The flavor medley is laced with rhubarb and herbs. If it is sometimes a bit too understated, overall it is a nice value. That said, the Feurheed's 10 from the winery is only another $2, but it seems like a significant upgrade.
