NV Warre Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port

[Al B.]

Decant: Just Opened - Bottled 2012, served lightly chilled. Deep orange in colour; 20% opaque. Nutty on the nose, but rich - like almond paste. Hollow entry, little flavour. Slowly some sweetness comes through the mid-palate then light brown sugar and eventually some toasted coconut and lime juice acidity. Some faint tannins are still present, but very soft. Pleasant aftertaste, showing some fruit before a very long finish of lemon grass. My first encounter with Warre's Otima, but it hasn't convinced me to become a fan of 10 year old tawny ports. 84 points
