And though the brand has changed hands, now part of Sogrape, the wine still holds its identity, delicately creamy with lovely floral esters and a zesty feel that lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRP92\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NV 20 Years Old Tawny Porto is a typical Douro blend bottled in August 2022 with a Vinolok cork and 129 grams per liter of residual sugar. For a lot of folks, a 20 Year is the sweet spot in the lineup for Tawnies: It's fresh, so you don't worry about cracking fruit; it's reasonably complex, so it's old enough to be serious; and most of all, it is actually affordable compared to some of the really old ones. This is lovely. Showing a trace of caramel and darker chocolate flavors, this is still dominated by its freshness. Its lively acidity lifts the fruit and allows the flavors to dribble over the palate. It is tightly wound and very focused. It tastes great too, finishing with a touch of sugar and big fruit. That dries out with time and becomes a bit less exuberant and a bit more stern. It acquires a very serious demeanor. It is hard to resist. Best after 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44141054689504,"sku":"118279","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/sandeman-tawny-port-20-year-old_1.jpg?v=1692215363","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/sandeman-tawny-port-20-year-old-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
