Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny 50cl

Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny 50cl.

Grapes: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão

A premium Tawny Port with a light, delicate palate challenging the perception of port as a dark full bodied after dinner drink. Rich tawny colour, with an excellent nose of nuts and hints of mature fruit. On the palate light and delicate, beautifully rounded, with hints of dried fruits, and a long elegant finish. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Otima 10 is a blend of 5 grapes: touriga nacional, touriga francesa, tinto barroca, tinta roriz and tinto cão selected for their ability to age. The wine itself spends an average of ten years in old oak casks, though parts of the blend can be up to 40 years old. Otima displays a golden red colour and a rich, smooth palate of golden raisins, fig newton centres, dried fruits, nutty butterscotch and caramelized sugar. The finish is seamless and long with enough acidity to remain fresh preventing a cloying finale. It's a contemporary look at Portuguese tawny best paired with walnuts, dried fruit and favourite cheeses."

"Delicate with pickled red cherries, slightly cool slate notes and fully ripe fresh figs, complemented with herbs and a little salty caramel. Harmonious. Compact but powerful style with a fine almond note and good freshness. The grippy tannin gives it structure. Long, powerful and lively finish." Drink 2023-2030

Does not need decanting. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature. Superb with cheese, nuts or dried fruit after a meal or on its own.
