95 points·Noval Tawny 20 years Port

Red/brown colour with an orange tint. Lovely complex, nutty, spicy nose with notes of dried fruit, orange peel and old furniture. Quite warm. The palate is concentrated, deep and spicy with lots of length and sweetness. Exquisite balance: a really top tawny. Excellent

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.

There is plenty going on in Noval's 20-year-old. It is a dry style, but the generous fruit combines marmalade and fresh citrus flavors, along with powerful ripeness. Acidity is there too, giving a lift at the end.

Pure, fresh and minerally, this elegant tawny offers a rich mix of glazed apricot, dried citrus, peach and butterscotch flavors, wrapped in plenty of creamy notes. Offers a spicy finish. Drink now.
