Tasting Notes
A 20 year Old tawny port with a deep amber or mahogany colour with copper hints, indicating extended aging. It has a rich, sweet taste with a well-balanced acidity, fruity notes, nutty undertones, and delicate spice notes. The woodiness is smooth and velvety, with integrated oak flavours and a velvety texture. The finish is long and lingering, with a harmonious blend of sweetness, spice, and wood.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline.

***95 Points- GOLD Medal - IWC 2024***
Brilliance of colour with notes of damson, prune, single espresso, chocolate, caramel, cinamon, clove and spice, dundee cake and a masculinity on the palate. Symphonic and harmonious, its acidity balances its sweetness wonderfully and effortlessly leading into a long rich and mouth-watering finish.

Seductive milk chocolate and rum raisin ice cream aromas. Beautiful silky palate, extremely refined with finesse with the perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol. In tiptop shape from every angle. A great example of its style and a delightful interpretation of the possibilities of this age category. Really spot-on!
