| Description: | Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Tawny is a perennial favorite under 'Most Popular Dessert Wines' in the country in Wine & Spirits magazine, and continues to be one of the most sought-after Port houses in the world. A superb example of aged tawny Porto, the Taylor is made from selected grapes from the best vineyards of the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Amarela. This sweet, fortified wine is aged in 600-liter oak casks for years, over which time they will lose their young, dark purple-black color to gain the distinctive 'tawny' hue from which the wine takes its name. As tawnies age, the wines take on increasingly more nutty flavors and become more concentrated as the barrels lose 3% of their volume every year (the "Angels' Share") to evaporation. The 10 Year Old Tawny is a blend created using tawnies with an average of 10 years of aging. In an interesting article we found online, ' Why your Party Punch Needs Port', we love the idea of a ' Bloody Murder Punch', melding Fonseca Bin 27 Port with Tequila, Rum, oleo-saccharum, lemon juice, orange juice and lime. Another cool drink served at the posh Two E Bar/Lounge at the Pierre Hotel in New York, is the 'American Whiskey Punch', in which Taylor Fladgate 10-year-old tawny port brightens a mix of rye, pomegranate juice, Yukon Jack liqueur and egg white. Tawny or Ruby Ports can also be used instead of sweet vermouth (or in addition to it -half Port, half vermouth) in a whiskey cocktail such as the Japanese Fizz – a whiskey sour made with Rye and Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny Port. |
