Quinta da Corte, 10 Year Old Tawny Port
$58.99
The spirit is so well integrated that you don’t notice it on the nose and the rich aroma of dried fruits and dried citrus peel are to the fore, and still some notes of red fruits. Smells remarkably young and fruity for a 10-year-old tawny. Sweet and smooth with a marked caramel and caramelised-orange flavour on the palate. Zingy, generous and harmonious. A really good 10-year-old packed with fruit and incipient complexity. Fresh and persistent.
Very traditional, in granite vats called lagares. Pressing is done by foot, which enables the content of the grapes to be extracted in a very gentle and controlled way.
Aging: In casks (“Pipas”) of 600 litres
