This 2016 version (bottled) of the wine is just stunning. There is so much depth and balance and it is by no means presents itself as a 10Y tawny. It could easily have been a 20/30 with the amount of candied nuts and leather. Amazing wine but unfortunately, this only goes for the pre-2017 versions of this bottle.

Rio Bom Mixed Tawnies (P81): Huge acidity and some elegant fruit flavors of raspberry and even some apple?. Has a nice depth of flavors but also not as good as the older bottling of this wine. This particular bottling was from 2017. I have had a lot better experiences with this wine bottled before 2017!

4 x 50 Years (10 and 40 YO Tanwy) from the same producers: Huge caramel flavors and a huge acidity. Lovely backbone and balance with a spicy and long aftertaste.
Impressive depth of flavor, intensity and length.
