This has had 5+ years in bottle. Delicate, neat, stylish; a lovely 20YO refined tawny. Text book.

Consistent with my last experience. Just a very pleasing after dinner glass that can easily last in the fridge for a week ... although it seldom does.

Caramel and dried fruit. Really enjoy this fresh style of tawny. A nice way to end a dinner, when people have had a bit too much to drink to appriciate a very expensive vintage port anyway. Will buy again.

Just opened. Cork had completely crumbled even though stored on its side. Medium ruby-bronze color. Not too sweet with a smooth finish.

Beautiful Tawny color; lots of spice, raisin, dried fruits, and almond on the nose; on the body the alcohol hides itself well; this wine is still showing good balance; on the finish, take a deep breath and you can taste the dried fruits and almonds. Grab the cheese and the walnuts and dig in! this bottle was bottled in 2005.

Better than expected. Very good carmel/raisin nose. More subtle raisin on the palate with a very nice carmel finish. A bit of heat. Not as good as a Taylor/Fonseca, but pretty good QPR for a 20-year tawny!

Bottled 2007 This was consumed over about a week. Day 1: A new more traditional bottle shape is now used for this one, in place of the old short fat bottle. No real TN as I just opened this but a lighter color than most 20 yrs. hazlenut, vanilla, and carmel nose. A bit thin and simple on the palate right now with tannins still noticable and a good dose of unintegrated Aguardentes. Actually, I can taste the aguardentes itself...boy …

Orange tinged pale brownish-red; nose with somewhat high-toned notes of hazelnuts, caramel, and orange zest; relatively light bodied with slightly sour nutty toffee flavors on palate; nice mouth feel and good finish. 87/100

Consumed over several (long) weeks. Raisin, fig, brown sugar, a hint of bitterness. Good, but not my style.

Very thin color. Again, just OK. Barely servicable. 76 points.
