The Society's Exhibition Tawny Port, 10 years old

The Society's Exhibition Tawny Port, 10 years old

Tawny Port is a delicate red brown in colour – the tawny in the name – and has lovely sweet nutty flavours on the palate that resonate with the creamy blueness of Stilton. It is matured in cask, here an average of 10 years, before bottling in 2011. Produced for us by chief winemaker David Guimaraens of the Fladgate group, owners of the fine Fonseca and Taylors Houses amongst others. Serve chilled with dried fruits and nuts as an aperitif, after a meal to lift the palate, or savour over a long evening.

Made by Fladgate Partnership (Fonseca) (opens a new window)

Established in 1822, Fonseca Guimaraens, often just referred to as Fonseca, is one of the most important and successful Port houses today. Show more >

"To those of you who are Tawny Port drinkers, this is exactly what it says on the label."

Moderation Policy for Comments and Reviews

The Wine Society pre-moderates comments on articles and reviews on products. This means that comments and reviews will not be published instantly; they will first be checked by the moderators. Moderators will be monitoring the site between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and will endeavour to process comments and reviews within 48 hours of submission.

Moderation is intended to ensure that content published on The Wine Society website is of value to members and is fair and balanced.

We will normally approve comments for publication as long as they:

  • Respect other members. Comments should not be malicious or offensive in nature, and should not constitute a personal attack on a person's character.
  • Don't incite hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.
  • Don't include obscenities.
  • Don't reveal personal details, such as private addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses or other online contact details.
  • Don't break the law. This includes libel, condoning illegal activity, and breaking copyright.
  • Are reasonably concise, and don't constitute spamming of the website.
  • Don't advertise commercial products and services. You may mention relevant products and services as long as they support your comment or review.
  • In The Society's opinion are not likely to adversely affect The Society's reputation or business, to the detriment of its shareholders, the members.
  • Don't impersonate or falsely claim to represent a person or organisation.
  • Are in English. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the resource to moderate comments in other languages.
  • Are on-topic. Please don't post messages that are unrelated to the article or product on which you are commenting or reviewing.

We reserve the right to suspend comments and reviews at any time. Where we choose not to publish a comment or review for a reason other than those listed above, we will reply to the member concerned by e-mail explaining our reasons and inviting them to make appropriate changes so that the comment or review can be reconsidered. We also reserve the right not to publish reviews that mention other wine merchants and competitors.

We may wish to use your comments in our literature or elsewhere online. Unless you specify otherwise, you are therefore agreeing in posting your comments that The Society has the right to use, edit, publish in any media, delete and/or store the whole or any part or parts of that post, and may quote you by name, without charge and without reference to you or anyone else.
