Aroma
The first aroma gives the impression of buoyancy and develops into a great smoothness acquired from having been matured in wood.
Maturation
Aged in barrels, it is always more evolved than the Ruby Port.
Appearance
A tawny red with a topaz meniscus.
Palate
In the mouth, it feels light, warm and very soft as a result of its ageing. This 'adolescent' is a mature and fruity Port with a complex and delicate character. Its finish is perfectly balanced, giving it flavour and some delicateness.
Vinification
The Tawny is a three to five-year-old blend obtained by blending wines with different degrees of maturity brought about by the ageing process in barrels and hogshead casks.
