Feuerheerd Tawny Port 20 Year Old



Deep amber color greets the eye. Raisins, currants and citron present themselves to the nose. The flavor is mellow but not terribly complex: mainly raisins, but with a hint of figs. The finish is remarkable: clean and surprisingly light, without the cloying heaviness found in some other ports.

This is a well-made port that has been well aged. Pair it with pastries or with chocolates, or--though I have quit smoking--with fine cigars. Another good pairing for port is any tangy strong cheese of the blue-veined variety such as blue cheese, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Roquefort, so forth.
