Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny Port (75cl, 20%)

Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny Port is an aged tawny port from Portugal's Douro Valley, blended from casks averaging two decades of wood maturation. It is made from traditional Douro grape varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Amarela, aged in small seasoned oak casks, with fermentation halted by grape spirits before all residual sugar is converted. The nose opens with dried apricot, peach, walnut, warm spice and honey; the palate is silky with butterscotch, white chocolate, toasted pecan and cinnamon; the finish is long and layered with toffee, light caramel and a smoky quality.
