10 Year Old Port Wine

10 year old port has been aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. During this ageing process, the wine takes on a more complex flavour profile and a distinctive amber colour. The longer a port is aged, the more it oxidises, which imparts nutty, caramel, and dried fruit flavours to the wine.

In the case of 10 year old port, the wine has had enough time to develop these flavours but still retains some of the fruitiness and freshness of younger ports. It has a rich, full-bodied taste with notes of caramel, hazelnut, and dried fruit. The wine also has a smooth, velvety texture that is characteristic of well-aged ports.

A versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of desserts, such as chocolate, cheesecake, and fruit tarts. It also makes a great accompaniment to cheese plates, especially those with strong and salty cheeses like blue cheese and aged cheddar.

Overall, 10 year old port is a delicious and sophisticated wine that is perfect for special occasions or for savouring as a treat. Its complex flavours and smooth texture make it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts, and it is sure to impress anyone who appreciates a good dessert wine.
