Fonseca Port 10 Year Old Tawny Bottle:1 blending fruit from two blocksFonseca Ten Year Old Tawny Port is russet in color with brilliant crimson highlights and a fragrant, ripe fruit bouquet. Its smooth, silky texture and subtle oak nuances are balanced by a fresh acidity and tannic "grip" that culminate in a long, elegant, plummy finish. Tawny Ports of age will not improve once bottled; they should be served at room temperature or barely cool at the end of a meal with nuts or not overly sweet desserts.
