Armilar 10 Year Old

Armilar 10 Year Old

This ten year old was ridiculously cheap in a certain discount supermarket. The colour was a deep amber with a hint of redness. The nose was light but contained a good mix of sweet spices and oak. Tasting revealed a full bodied richness with a good balance of sweet dried fruit flavours and astringent oak. This wasn't the most complex 10 year old port that I've tasted but it didn't disappoint. How they can sell it at such a bargain price I cannot imagine.

Deep ruby colour with a lightly fruity nose. This port had a soft and fruity character. It had a good balance of fruit flavours and tannins within a gentle rather than rich body.
