Tasting Notes
Deep tawny in colour. Complex aromas like raisin and dried fruits, belying its youthful age. Full-bodied in the palate, smooth and well-rounded, with flavours of dried fruits, caramel, toasted almonds, walnuts, and a touch of spice, all balanced by a subtle citrus zest.Long and elegant on the finish, with a balanced sweetness and a lingering aftertaste of nuts and dried fruit.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline.

Reviews
***90 Points- Mark Squires, Wine Advocate***
The NV Tawny Porto 10 Years S. Leonardo is a field blend coming in at 126 grams per liter of residual sugar. It was bottled in 2017 with a bar-top cork. This is a 10 that is impressive for its concentration and power. A bit too stolid at times and just a little flabby, it focuses more on richness than elegance, more on complexity than brightness. It doesn't quite have the lift and precision that some do. However, its solidity and power for this level mostly make up for that. In some ways, it is a step up over a typical 10. Then, there is a beautifully long finish filled with sugar and spice. Overall, it's very well done. It showed better the next day than when first opened, and it showed better as it warmed to about 62 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tamarind, dried apricot and raisin framed by indulgent sweetness. Fresh and persistent finish of walnut skin and cinnamon spice.
