Tasting notes
Full, frosted cork-stoppered bottle 1,339 g. Pale fox red with a pale rim. Definite rancio on the powerful nose and a real amalgam of Christmas flavours. Fresh finish after an impression of liquefied mince pies. Much more impressive than Taylor’s 10 Year Old though still with the house backbone. Still something to chew on, amazingly! (JR)

Full bottle 1,333 g. Matured in 630-litre casks. Deep tawny colour. Open and inviting aromas of dried figs, walnuts and bitter toffee, caramelised bitter-orange peel like really dark marmalade. Powerful and warming, the alcohol still fully in evidence but not overwhelming the lovely complex and sweet flavours of dried fruits and a touch of baking spice. More mellow than some 20 Year Olds. Firm, gently chewy. A complete and satisfying 20 Year Old, with depth and length. Serve slightly chilled to get the best balance of fruit and alcohol. (JH)
Shaded, lustrous, fox red with a clear rim. Gorgeous mix of citrus peel and alcohol; liquid Christmas pudding. I'd serve this cool as it has a little heat on the end. (JR)
The aromas to this beautiful tawny port are saturated with burnt orange peel, caramel, candied fruit and hints of honey-coated nuts. Full-bodied, very fruity and dense with intense nut and mahogany flavors. Hints of sultanas, chocolate and coffee. Extremely creamy, long and flavorful. Delicious all the way. Better served slightly chilled. Drink now.
