Brought home from the 2012 FTLOP Harvest Tour. Bottled 2011.
3.5 hrs decanting. Brownred colour. Surprising with so much brown colour on a young tawny of 10 yrs.
Aroma dominated by wood, burnt caramel and cardamom. Too much spirit the first day, however two days later it had mellowed. Pleasant taste, well-balanced, but very little berries. Medium body. Medium length aftertaste. Probably a tawny that will age quickly. Ready to drink now. 86 pts.

Re: Calem PV Collections 10 years tawny
Funny, last week, I wrote up the same Port. I liked it a little more than you but did not find the same level of brown color as you.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

How much expectation could one have for a Calem 10 year?

I know I'm in a minority, but I really liked their 10. Maybe it was the experience of being there with my wife during a really nice day.
