3 | Wine | Porto, Unrated

"Dried fruits and nuts on the nose. Fuller and more saline than the 10-year-old; gives an impression of stronger extract. Both fruitier and lighter on its feet than the 10-year-old. Nutty, mellow and elegant." Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer; no score given.

"Reddish-tawny color. Slightly roasted aromas of bonfire, toffee and almond; slight hint of maderization. Sweet and smooth, but rather powerful, with youthful red berry flavor and a bit of heat. Smoke and nutskin on the lingering finish." Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer; no score given.

"Very impressive. Full, deep color for an older tawny. Brooding aromas of currant fruitiness, nuts, raisins and minerals. Concentrated, unctuous and sweet; slightly aggressive and powerfully structured, but buffered by strong extract. Maintains unusually fresh fruit flavors for an older tawny. Offers weight and solid structure. Long, sweet finish leaves a glyceral impression, and is not at all dried by the brandy." Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer; no score given.
