Made for Tesco by Symington Family Estates. 100 grams/litre residual sugar. Once the must had fermented to the desired degree of sweetness (usually within 48 hours), fortification took place with grape brandy at 77%. Tesco 10 Year Old is matured in seasoned oak casks of 534 litres until their peak of maturity is reached. These are among the most demanding and challenging styles of Port to produce requiring great skill and years of experience from the winemaker and blender. It is essential to strike the correct balance between the delicacy and elegance which results from prolonged cask ageing while retaining the fruit quality which lends this old Tawny its structure and longevity.
Quite a woody, musty smell. Lovely flavour, though. Caramel and yet freshly fruity. Delicious and GV. 20%
