Port is fortified wine: grape spirit is added during fermentation, which stops the yeast and leaves natural grape sugar in the wine. That is why port is sweet and around twenty per cent.
After that, the path splits. Ruby matures in large tanks or casks and stays fruity and deep red. Tawny matures for years in small casks, turns amber-brown and develops notes of nut, caramel and dried fruit. The label then states 10, 20, 30 or 40 years. LBV and vintage come from a single harvest year; a vintage spends a short time in cask and then decades in bottle.
The practical difference: an opened tawny keeps for weeks in the fridge, while a vintage should be finished within a few days.
A tawny keeps for weeks after opening. A vintage should be finished within a few days.
