Wine Spectator

This 20-year-old Tawny fills the glass with its amber hue and brick-red highlights, a sign of its long aging in oak barrels. It offers a complex aromatic profile of dried fruits, tinged with notes of the forest floor (mushrooms) and caramel for a touch of indulgence. The balance on the palate is masterful, with the acidity counterbalancing the residual sugars. Notes of nuts and raisins gain depth and superbly accompany the long, lingering finish.
