Quinta do Vallado Tawny Port 10 years
Description
Le Vallado Porto Tawny 10 ans rend hommage à la très riche tradition du Douro et à l'héritage de l'un des domaines les plus historiques de la région, sous la direction d'œnologues, Francisco Olazabal et Francisco Ferreira. Il est issu d’un assemblage artisanal de cépages autochtones — tels que le Tinta Roriz, le Tinta Amarela ou le Touriga Nacional — provenant de vieilles vignes. Son élevage lent, d’une durée moyenne d’une décennie en fûts, cuves et tonneaux de chêne, lui confère un profil généreux et enveloppant d’une grande complexité.

L'avis des experts
A complex weave of fig, date, almond and earthy aromas, reinforced and well-matched on the long and complex palate. A delightful marriage between textural quality and sweetness.
Pretty aromas of dried berries, cedar and candied orange peel follow through to a medium body and a very sweet palate, with oranges, plums and a nutty undertone such as peanuts. Very fresh and sweet. Tastes older than 10 years and in a very good way! Drink now.
The November 2025 bottling of the NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port has a dark brown, almost mahogany color with some red tints, which is quite different from the much paler 20-, 30- and 40-year-old examples that I tasted next to it. This is, of course, the youngest of the age-designated Tawnies, the one that still has some primary notes of crystallized red fruit mixed with the nutty and varnished tones. It finishes with a faint bitter twist. This was bottled with 98 grams of sugar and is easy to drink. 47,220 half liter bottles and 750 magnums produced. - Luis Gutiérrez
