Now port is a great red wine. It is smooth and sweet. A good tawny port is silky and rich. It coats your tongue and slides down your throat. Since most tawny ports are aged they have a thickness to the liquid that allows it to just linger on your tongue. So you really enjoy the full flavor. It is also a little stronger than wine so you really can’t rush drinking this either. Are you beginning to see the why these pair so well?
