Very rich aroma: crystalised orange, spices, dried figs. Very fresh on the palate, fruity, elegant, perfumed, with a long after taste punctuated by coffee and cinnamon flavours.
The 20 Year Old Tawny (Dalva) comes in with 127 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is silky and sweet, the combination of sugar and freshness serving it in good stead. It lingers beautifully on the finish and simply tastes great. This is not the most complex 20 I've ever had, but its elegance, sunny demeanor and intensely flavorful finish make it a winner. Plus, as it warms and airs to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, it begins to seem far more complex, too. This is nicely done. Mark Squires
