March 28, 2024 - Purchased for $55. Slightly not expensive than a few of the other 20-Year Tawnies we've recently had, but nowhere near the most expensive. Beautiful maple/mahogany in color. This is pretty straight forward... Dates and hazelnut notes. Both on the palate and on the nose. There's a citrus-like acidity, which really makes your mouth water. Oh the dry side of the sweetness scale, and quite far on the dry spectrum. Typical for the Dow's house style. Medium finish. Very nice 20-Year, but a step behind some of the others we recently had.

November 20, 2022 - Clean, discrete nose and palate. Well balanced. Elegant style. Long finish. Low complexity for a 20 years.

August 29, 2022 - Lovely tawny colour, with nuts and dried fruits, hint of caramel. Not bad but lack focus and details as you would expect from 20y old. Slightly disjointed.(Etihad Business class)
