Tasting Notes
Dow's 10 Year Old Tawny Port reveals a captivating aroma of candied fruits, toffee, and hints of red cherry, beautifully complemented by almond and vanilla undertones. On the palate, its velvety texture unfolds vibrant nutty flavours with touches of marmalade and peppery spice. The long, satisfying finish is signature Dow’s—full and slightly dry, leaving a lingering impression of elegance. Best enjoyed slightly chilled, this Tawny pairs wonderfully with desserts like apple pie or chocolate mousse, or as a refined sip to end an exquisite meal.
