Niepoort 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Most 10 Year Tawnies are blended for consistency; this one is blended for freshness. The fruit comes from just three Cima Corgo vineyards — Vinha da Pisca, Vale do Pinhão and Ferrão — where the schist-rooted vines average more than 60 years old, farmed organically in practice and picked by hand, then foot-trodden in lagares the old way. From there it goes into small 550-litre casks in the Gaia cellars, and the marriage of casks of different ages and characters is the work of master blender José Nogueira — a Nogueira has been blending Niepoort's Ports since 1842. It's the most useful bottle in the Port cabinet, keeping happily for weeks once opened, and it overdelivers badly for what aged tawny usually costs.

"The 2022 bottling of the NV 10 Year Old Tawny Port still has signs of youth and some ruby/red color in it, with notes of cherries in liqueur intermixed with nuts and spice, with lots of depth and complexity. I think the 10 year old is a category that is somewhere in between, still a little young but with some development and good complexity. That can be explained due to the fact that it's a blend of older and younger wines, and this is 10 years on average (or style) and, in my book, very good value for the category. It has 19.5% alcohol and 110 grams of sugar. 25,000 bottles produced." —Luis Gutiérrez

"Aged in small 550L old oak casks in Niepoort’s cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, this svelte 10-year-old has detail and an appetizing, salty edge to its dried plum, pear, apricot and candied citrus palate. Hints of chinato herbs, iodine, walnut and cassia bark add interest. Light on its feet, with an elegant, uplifting finish."

Wine Spectator

"A charming style, with pretty dried cherry, bergamot and warm fruit cake flavors forming an expressive and inviting core. On the sweeter side of the spectrum, but with the freshness for balance. Drink now."

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"A finely balanced wine that combines rich red fruit flavors with acidity, a slight tang from the spirit and a feeling of warmth and roundness. It finishes with an almond note and fresh acidity."

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Salted almonds and aged Serra da Estrela or Manchego; crème brûlée, pecan pie, or a Basque burnt cheesecake; walnut tart; a plate of dried figs and apricots. Also very good with a strong espresso after dinner, or alongside seared foie gras.

Tasting Profile

Amber-brown in the glass, with aromas of dried figs, roasted walnuts, orange peel and caramel. Sweet but not heavy — the cask time trades away primary fruit for nuttiness and spice, and bright acidity keeps it from cloying. Medium-bodied, smooth, with a warm, nutty finish that carries a touch of dried orange. Serve lightly chilled.
