Having aged 10 years in barrel, this wine has a complexity which is hard to find anywhere else. A distinct nuttiness comes from the extended aging and associated oxidation. This aging process leads to more well integrated flavors of vanilla and caramel, while also making the high alcohol content less obvious. Lots of prune, raisin, and date notes linger on the finish.

Wonderful with bread based desserts like bread pudding, pecan pie, and crème brulee. With the amount of complexity in this wine, it will make an outstanding dessert on its own or paired with a fine cigar. Recommended Best drink/ageing timeline: Now through 2042, possibly longer.
100% Chambourcin
This wine is the result of an ambitious and time consuming undertaking. To craft a ten year tawny style port begins with making a wine with the composition to age that long, and then requires the patience to wait. The wine sat undisturbed in barrel before ten years before being racked twice and then bottled. Because of its composition and it not being filtered, it will continue to evolve in the bottle for years, and decades, to come.
