NV Quinta da Devesa 40 years tawny

[Rune EG]

75 cl. Bottled 2016. Decanted 2.5 hrs which was OK. Medium to dark brown colour. Deep, complex aroma where there are herbs, citrus, oak, ripe fruit and a touch of alcohol. Latter disappeared after 3 hrs. Full body. The taste is big, powerful, elegant with plenty nice citrus. Some bitterness towards the end. Long aftertaste. On its own, this tawny is a bit rough, but when tested out in combination with peanuts it work very well and the tawny became more smooth. 93 pts.
