Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis is a poised, sophisticated 20 year old tawny that's confidently understated. If the 10 year old is more obvious and forthcoming, this slowly and meaningfully evolves in the glass, offering dried red berries, candied orange peel, caramel, roasted nuts, and savoury spices. It's a complete pour, that's equally decadent and elegant, which will no doubt be incredibly versatile at the dinner table. Bottled in 2022.Tasted: 30 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis 20 Year Old Tawny from Taylor Fladgate shows an excellent combination of pecan nuttiness, toffee sweetness, and savoury spiciness. The evolved notes of the fruits, sweet dried apricot, and fig, with tangy orange peel, are charming. It’s an elegant and delicate Tawny with richness and complexity. It will do well with any sweet holiday dessert but fig tarts or pecan pies will pair superbly.Tasted: 26 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalQuite a jump in smoothness on the palate from the 10 Year Old Tawny though the wood is certainly more more present here, strident and grippy. Roasted hazelnuts, orange-scented caramel and golden raisins stud the medium-full palate. A warming alcohol is felt on the drying, riffing finish.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalIf I had to pick a style of Tawny port to drink forever (no don’t make me do it) I guess it would be the 20 Year Old. Taylor's, like others, blends its old tawny Ports from extensive reserves of old cask aged Ports matured in its deep, cool and tranquil cellars. It seems 20 years is just about right. Still youthful, still fruity but with those powerful nutty aromas that come with age. The attack is fresh but smooth mixing coffee/vanilla, orange rind, cinnamon and nuts as it spills onto your palate. Mouth and sense-filling it’s an extraordinary wine experience. Try it with classic crème brûlée.Tasted: 15 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTaylor's blends its old tawny Ports from extensive reserves of old cask aged Ports matured in the firm's cool and tranquil cellars at Oporto. At 20 you begin to really encounter the spicy, nutty aromas as the power of ageing are more powerful and intense. Still it remains fresh mixing smooth toffee/vanilla, nutty tea flavours flecks of orange rind and spice. Full rich and sumptuous it over delivers on the palate spilling twenty years of ageing out of the glass and into your senses. Try this with a touch of crème brûlée.Tasted: 16 November 2013Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalSomehow this wine is always fresh and intense despite its average age of two decades. We love the toffee/vanilla orange rind nose; the attack is opulent and complex offering up spicy, nutty, fiery, tea flavours with a delicious mellow vanilla finish. It is an exquisite piece of work that transcends the humble nature of grape.Tasted: 03 November 2011Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalVanilla toffee and orange rind mark a generous inviting nose. The average age here is 24 years and there is a terrific balance between fruit and alcohol. The flavours are intense and lengthy featuring vanilla, almonds and nutty flavours and a peppery fiery tea finish. It is best served slightly chilled from the fridge.Tasted: 17 August 2008Tasted by: Prices:
