10 Years Old Tawny: dried fruit, chocolate and vanilla, with gold at Decanter.

Tasting note

An aroma of dried fruit, chocolate and hints of vanilla. A lovely combination of fine acidity and subtly sweet, ripe fruit.

The story

A tawny with an indication of age is a blend of Ports aged for a long time in oak casks: the age reflects the average character of the blend. It is ready to drink and will not improve with further keeping.

Food pairing

Delicious as an aperitif, and wonderful with chocolate, desserts, nuts and aged cheese. For example with chocolate mousse with candied orange, made with 60% cocoa chocolate.

The producer

Barros was founded in 1913 in Vila Nova de Gaia by Manuel de Almeida, under the name Almeida & Ca. Soon afterwards Manuel Moreira de Barros became a partner, and in 1920 the firm became Barros, Almeida & Ca. It is a Port house with an entirely Portuguese history.

Today Barros is part of the Sogevinus group, alongside Kopke, Cálem and Burmester among others. The house is best known for its Colheitas, tawnies from a single harvest.
