While the nose is of prototypical tawny port with raisin, caramel, fig, cocoa, and sandalwood, the palate has a fruitier profile with subtle cherry flavor. Full and rich but not cloying - it’s actually on the drier end of the taste spectrum for a tawny.

Very rich with lots of depth. Similar flavor profile to the 20 and 30 year, but more depth and complexity. — 3 years ago
Good! Total wines Portugal wine. Would get again. Deep fruit but not too dark. Balanced. — 5 months ago
Semi-sweet on the front end, smoky finish, making the barreling and age a defining characteristic. Brown-red color and nutty, caramel notes. Exceptional tawny port (as it should be) — 9 months ago
This prefect! It doesn't taste too sweet in the actual drinking, but leaves a slightly sweet, rich flavor in the mouth. Packs a punch withe alchol content. Bought at Total Wines. — 3 years ago
Least favorite of the total wine Portugal tries. Too much leather and Tobacco Matt liked. Got better as it opened. — 6 months ago
Great cheap buy from Total Wine. Pleasantly surprised how good this was and would get again. — 6 months ago

Intense, deep, powerful but incredibly approachable red blend from the Douro River, a red blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. This combination will please all styles of wine drinkers. The flavors of red compote and a hint of baked red cherry pie and a@touch of toast and vainilla provides a wonderful mouthfeel. It is progressive and has silky tannins, smooth texture and long finish. — 20 days ago
