Cockburn's Tawny 20 Year Old

Deep clear brown colour with a hint of redness. The nose was warm and nutty like a freshly baked christmas cake. The flavour was intense being sweet with a prominant woodiness. Rich old fruits underneath the strong oak flavours provided balance.

Slightly cloudy mid brown colour with a slightly medicinal nose reminiscent fo childhood cough linctus. The flavour was satisfyingly complex balancing the dried fruits sweetness with nuts, caramel, and burnt sugar elements which reminded me of Christmas puddings.

Clear deep brown colour with an intense oakey nose. There was a rich taste of old dried fruits with a good contribution from the oak. This port was strikingly smooth as the harshness from the wood was well balanced within the overall palate.
