(NV Sandeman Porto 20 Year Old Tawny) Across the board, Sandeman’s tawny lineup is simply stunning. Light orange with glints of amber. The fragrant smoky, nutty, golden-raisin nuances of this 20-year-old are enticing, but the strength of the wine is evident on the first sip. Sexy and supple, with a core of caramel, date, and toasty hazelnut. The elegant party keeps going in the mouth long after the music has stopped, and the butterscotch lingers even longer. Fit to Be Fortified
