Fonseca Tawny 20 Year Old

Fonseca Tawny 20 Year Old

I bought this in Fortnum and Mason's in London but was sadly disappointed with it. The colour was a clear brownish red; the amount of redness surprised me in a tawny of this age. I detected hints of oak on the nose. It tasted pleasantly nutty and sweet but with not much depth or complexity. Perhaps it was a little oversweet for me which overwhelmed the contribution from the oak.
