£26.49
The Gran Cruz 10 Years Old Tawny Port 19 % is a classic 10-year-old Tawny Port from Portugal, which combines the rich tradition of Port wine culture in the Douro Valley with a harmonious, mature style. Presented in a 0.75 l bottle, this 10 Year Old Tawny Port is a carefully blended cuvée of various vintages, the average age of which corresponds to the stated ageing profile of ten years. During its long ageing in wooden casks, the port develops its characteristic tawny style and gains increasing complexity and smoothness. Gran Cruz is one of the best-known names in the world of port and is synonymous with a wide selection of classic ports from the Douro.
The Gran Cruz 10 Years Old Tawny Port combines the characteristic maturity of a Tawny Port with a balanced structure and is ideal for connoisseurs seeking an approachable yet distinctly matured port. Thanks to its long cask ageing, it has a different character to fruit-forward Ruby Ports and is particularly well-suited as a dessert wine or digestif. At the same time, the ‘10 Years Old’ age statement makes this Portuguese port an interesting gift idea for port lovers and special occasions.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Gran Cruz 10 Years Old Tawny Port displays a warm amber to tawny colour with reddish-golden highlights. On the nose, notes of dried fruit, nuts and delicate spices unfold, accompanied by hints of caramel and wood. On the palate, it is soft, round and harmonious, with ripe fruit, nutty nuances and a pleasant sweetness. The finish is long-lasting, smooth and characterised by mature, delicately spiced notes.
The Gran Cruz 10 Years Old Tawny Port is best served slightly chilled and is excellent as a digestif or with dessert. It pairs particularly well with nut cakes, crème brûlée, apple tart, dried fruit, as well as mature hard cheeses and blue cheeses. Enjoyed on its own after a good meal, this 10-year-old Tawny Port is also an excellent choice for a quiet moment of indulgence.
