Favorite 20 Year Tawny?

Post by **Roy Hersh** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:51 pm

Quinta do Vallado, Sandeman, Niepoort, Cockburn's, Porto Dalva, Ferreira Duque de Braganca, Delaforce are just a few that I really like.

Check out the next FOR THE LOVE OF PORT newsletter and you'll find TNs on all of these and more. I am doing my very best to ensure that it reaches everyone before the end of the year.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Roy.

That said, I'm glad to hear the 20 is apparently better. (Let's just say I'm not a fan of the 10 and leave it at that.)

I do find it odd, though, that the mention the 20 Year Old under "News" but not under "Wines." I wonder what I should make of that . . .

Cheers,

I tried the 10 year Otima last night. I would agree that it did not do much for me. Don't get me wrong, it is a decent 10 year old tawney, but a very simple straght forward one. I would recommend this more for a beginner to ports to try.

Simon - As you may know, "His Eminence's Choice" is the wine-name for the 10-Year Old Tawny of Delaforce.
As you may also know, this particular wine has a portrait printed on the label. You may click here to give it a look. :)

However, for some reason, the label has changed for this particular wine. Only in last September I've found out about that. Now the Delaforce 10Y Tawny comes with a kind of "white paint" label and no longer uses the cleric portrait that use to be printed on it !!. Even the "His Eminence's Choice" wine-name no longer comes on the label !!
