I have never added a Tawny Port to PortLover.com, but I think this one is an exception. Vasconcellos is the last Portuguesse owned Port Winnery. They don't do Vintage, just Tawny and white.
We were all very surprised at the quality of the (Red Sweet) Tawny. It had a beautiful light Burgundy color with subtle blackberry/cherry smells. Since it was a Tawny, it had a little pepper and tannins, but great alcohol. But it was its balanced nature that surprised all of us. It was fantastic as a delicate Port wine that anyone could enjoy. I highly recommend it, although it probably isn't distributed outside of Portugal. | Posted on Jan 28, 2002
