Burnt orange and almonds with a medium amount of sweetness.
The acidity is good but overall, the alcohol is dominating the aftertaste.
Overall, a nice wine but also a bit simple. 88-89p

Quite dense and sweet. Dominated by burnt orange peel and hazelnuts/almonds.
Decent acidity and the alcohol is better integrated compared to the 10Y Tawny.
Overall, a nice wine but only marginally better than the 10Y Tawny. 89-90p

Light and elegant plum fruit with some caramel and a harsh acidity. Aftertaste is short and the alcohol is dominating a bit.
A classic and good interpretation of the 10Y Tawny. Despite the comments, I really like this wine..

Sweet dark plum with some sweetness. Medium aftertast with a piercing acidity. Some coffee and dirt.
Lovely balance and nicely integrated alcohol. A solid wine worth seeking out.

Sweet dried plum fruit. Quite dense and compact. Lovely balance and piercing acidity in the aftertaste that leaves a very good impression.
Lots of complex spices like wood, coffee, vanilla, orange, sewer and dirt.
Great stuff!

Very dried and dense plum/blackberry fruit. Still with a huge acidity.
Lots of complexity with dark chocolate, candied orange peel, burnt dirt and coffee grounds.
An very lovely impression of this wine type! Lots of complexity but similar acidity that really improves the wine
