The NV 20 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled in 2016 with a bar top cork and 109 grams per liter of residual sugar. As I saw with the white Ports this issue, this 20 is a nice sweet spot in the lineup, a notable step up on the 10, but not too far behind the older ones. It adds a couple of layers of concentration to the 10 Year Old, but more importantly, it delivers some of the complexity that I want to see from fine tawnies. The finish is lovely, easy, but showing just enough grip.
