Wine Review: Graham’s 10 Tawny Port-Just a Touch of Portugal

If you are looking for a sweet wine that is so smooth it feels like silk on your taste buds and satin sheets on your bed you might want to sip a glass of Graham’s 10 Tawny Porto. At an affordable price of $23, it provides a great taste and the feel of luxury without having to pay heavy for it. The wine pours a smooth golden brown color when held to the light. The taste is nutty and dry with high alcohol content.   It does not take much to put a smile on your face.

If it were designated as a 20, 30, or 40 it would mean the wine has been seasoned for a corresponding amount of years.   The longer the port wine has been stored the smoother the taste and higher the quality.   Of course quality doesn’t come free and one should expect the price to rise as well. Tawny Port wine is often severed as a dessert wine after a meal. It is sweet, dry, and full of flavor. Such wines
