Quinta da Trovisca 20 Year Old Tawny

Quinta da Trovisca 20 Year Old Tawny


Clear bright brown in colour with a moderately nutty nose. The taste combined dried fruits and oak flavours in a moderately complex body. The wood elements counteracted the sweetness from the berries to give a satisfying dryness to the finish.

Deep ruby in colour with a pleasantly fruity nose. Tasting revealed a well balanced port with sweet fruit flavours balanced with a good body and hints of tannins. Whilst not outstanding it was pleasant enough to drink and thoroughly enjoyable.

Deep and intense ruby colour with fresh fruit on the nose. The taste was youthful with fresh grapes and tannins carried on a full body. Although this was good to drink now it has the potential to improve over the next twenty years. Put some in your cellar for later and satisfy your current needs with a good quality ruby reserve or LBV.
