Description and Reviews:
This 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a high-quality aged port produced by Kopke, one of the oldest port wine houses in Portugal, established in 1638. This particular port is known for its rich and complex flavour profile, which is the result of aging in oak casks for an average of 20 years.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber colour with a golden-brown hue. On the nose, intense and complex aromas of dried fruits, such as figs, apricots, and raisins, with notes of honey, nuts, and a hint of vanilla. A smooth and well-balanced palate with flavours of dried fruits, caramel, and spices. The oak aging imparts notes of toffee, almonds, and a touch of citrus. The finish is long, elegant, and sweet with a pleasant nuttiness and a lingering aftertaste.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Tawny Ports are ready-to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 12-13ºC they will work wonders if pairing with treacle tart, crème brulee or nut based desserts, like hazelnut praline.

These ports offer a unique expression of a single vintage and are highly prized by port wine enthusiasts. The house also produces a range of other port styles, including vintage ports, white ports, and aged tawnies.
