Quinta do Noval - 20 Year Old Tawny
Tawny 20 (Porto DOC, Duriense, Portugal)

Robert Parker : « "My favorite of the three tawnys reviewed in this segment is the 20 Year Old Tawny. It offers an amber color, a spicy, tobacco, cedary, smoky, complex nose, dense, rich flavors that belie the color’s aged, feeble look, and an expansive personality. It is a classic example of how delicious and complex a 20 year old tawny port can be. Tawny ports are aged in wood from essentially a solera system for the number of years indicated on the bottle. In most cases I prefer the younger ten or twenty year Tawnys to the ancient forty to fifty year old wines, but it is really a matter of taste. I tend to like more fruit rather than the oxidized and aged characteristics of the very old tawnys." »

Wine.com : « Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Quinta do Vesuvio from Portugal. The extremely low yields of the Vesuvio vineyard produced a wine of unparalleled concentration and richness and with a deep purple color. The wine combining floral aromas of eucalyptus and has intense flavors of very ripe fruit and rich blackcurrant. Quinta do Vesuvio 2007 is a fabulous accompaniment to chocolate desserts, such as flourless chocolate cake or dark chocolate truffles, but can also be enjoyed on its own - it is an experience in itself. Port is best served in classic Port wine glassware or white wine glasses. Avoid cordial or liqueur glasses as they are too small to fully appreciate the wine's aromas. These wines can be drunk young by those who enjoy a more fruit driven style, but will also age superbly over the decades to come. »
