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 palette of dried fruits, tinged with notes of undergrowth (mushrooms) and caramel for a delicious finish. The balance on the palate is masterful, with acidity counterbalancing the residual sugars. Notes of walnuts and raisins gain momentum and accompany the long finish superbly.
