10 Year Old Tawny Port by Ramos Pinto Quinta de Ervamoira

[Frederick Blais]

Here is my TN

Deep amber with a hint of pink, this Tawny exhibits a very nice and fresh amoratic palette. Complex aromas of nut meg, I love that, crème caramel, cinamon and dried fruits like raisin and figs. Mouth is rich, onctuosity strikes at the first sip. Velvety texture, the sugar is taking over the acidity making it a bit heavy, but I like that. Good midpalate, intense flavors of caramel, dried nuts and sweet dried figs. The finale is lingering on creme caramel and cinamon flavor and the acidity makes a good presence here to make the finale go on and on. Solid 17/20

I was really impressed by this 10 yr Tawny. Every time I've tasted it in wine fair, I had good impression but it was never enough to put it in my top 3 10 yr tawny. Now I'll probably have to make him some place with Noval and Niepoort.
