Wine Spectator

This 20-year-old Tawny fills the glass with its amber color 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 forest floor (mushrooms) and caramel for a rich, indulgent flavor. The balance on the palate is masterfully achieved, with the acidity counterbalancing the residual sugars. Notes of nuts and raisins gain depth and beautifully complement the long, lingering finish.
