An eight-year Tawny Port from Australia listed at 18% alcohol by volume. Grenache and Shiraz grapes. Nice light amber color. I find caramel toffee, orange zest, hazelnut, and dried fruits in the flavors. It gently warms the mouth and throat rather than burning with alcoholic heat. It held up for over a week of sipping once opened. The label mentions rancio characteristics. This is an inexpensive alternative to Tawny Ports from Portugal, It could also be listed under value wines. Enjoyable.
