Warre's Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port, Portugal

Are you a sweet wine lover? Then here's a very very interesting option for you! Here in Turkey we are not so much mad about the dessert wines but of course in many countries a successful dinner shouldn't end up without a sweet drop of wine! Portugal is one of my favorite countries and I always discover a new culinary delight every time I visit that country. Warre's 10 year old Tawny Port is one of my lastest discoveries and I never think to return from Portugal without grabbing one bottle. (Those are sold in special, 250cl small bottles) Costs around 26 Euros.

OTIMA

Warre’s has established itself as one of the most forward thinking Port producers, balancing its long tradition with total dedication to premium quality and successful innovation.

Warre’s launch of Otima 10 & 20 Year Old Tawny caused a revolution in Port that introduced a completely new concept to consumers, helping to rejuvenate Port’s image in the main markets. Otima is now widely acknowledged as the most successful new development in the Port trade for over 25 years.

The merit of Otima was to show Port’s versatility as an all year round, anytime drink, appealing to both women and men, dispelling many of the myths attached to Port.

The clean, modern design was matched by an excellent wine that has been winning Gold and Silver medals at the world’s leading blind tasting competitions year after year, leaving no doubt that the quality of the wine is on par with the outstanding, award-winning packaging.

Otima 10 is a superb, light and beautifully balanced Ten Year Old Tawny Port that is clearly different with a striking ultra-modern package designed to appeal to a new, younger generation of Port enthusiasts.

Otima 20, introduced in 2005 in response to the overwhelmingly positive reception of Otima 10, extends the brand into a more luxurious level.

“A 10-year-old tawny port with a light, delicate palate which is simply superb when served chilled, either on its own or at the end of a meal”.
Jonathan Ray, Daily Telegraph

“...drop-dead gorgeous in the taste department. This is simply the best tawny around, just chill the bottle a touch, pour and mellow out”.
Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail Weekend

Otima 10: 90 points out of 100
“A ripe and rich tawny. Loads of caramel, honey and dried fruit.. Full-bodied, sweet and very toffee like on the palate. Long finish”.
James Suckling, Wine Spectator

Otima 10: 17 points out of 20
“A robust and rich Port of superior character and elegance”.
Joao Paulo Martins, Portuguese Wines

Otima 20: 90 Points out of 100
“A lush, soft Port, with nutty aromas rounded out by scents of coffee and caramel.
Caresses the palate with flavours of coffee and creme caramel, blending in a bit of orange peel on the finish. There’s not a rough edge to be found”.
Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast
