Fortified wines make up only about 1-2% of Hardys’ production, but they still put great quality in the bottle. Five to fifteen years of aged wines go into this Tawny to create the 8 year average; made primarily from Grenache grapes. Nutty, caramel and spice with baked cherry all leads to a long supple finish with just the right amount of balancing acidity. Rating: ****+
