Sandeman 20 Year Tawny Port is a sweet aged tawny Port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% alcohol. Sandeman, founded in 1790, is one of the best-known Port houses.
A 20 Year Tawny is a blend of Ports from many harvests aged in oak casks, with an average age of about 20 years. Long, slow aging in wood turns the wine from ruby red to old gold and builds nutty, dried-fruit flavors.
Expect old-gold amber color and aromas of honey, dried apricot, spice and vanilla, then hazelnut, butterscotch, toasted coconut and dates, with a long, warm finish. Decanter gives it 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 95 and Wine Spectator 93.
If you find red Port too heavy, an aged tawny is silkier, nuttier and more elegant, and a classic after-dinner gift.
Serve it slightly chilled after dinner, with crème brûlée, almond tart, blue cheese or roasted nuts.
