NV S. Leonardo Porto 60 Year Old Tawny - Portugal, Douro, Porto
Bottled in 2016. Light amber with gold and yellow on the edges. Intense nose with notes of bourbon, some underlying tropical fruits, and vanilla. Honey and lemon on the palate. Very, very long finish. Great acidity (95 pts.)

For the record, this was a "60" White, not a "60" Tawny. (Which you can tell from Stewart's note with the underlying tropical fruits, vanilla, honey, and lemon.)
