• NV José Maria da Fonseca Moscatel de Setúbal Alambre 20 Years - Portugal, Península de Setúbal, Moscatel de Setúbal
  Yellow-orange in color, showing clear signs of extended aging. The nose is expressive, with rich aromas of candied citrus peel, lemon drops, and a touch of petrol layered over dried apricot and warm spice. On the palate, it opens with a burst of sweet, concentrated lemon candy—reminiscent of Lemonheads—followed by deeper notes of orange marmalade, fig, and toasted almond. Richer and more layered than the 10 Year, with a fuller body and greater intensity. The finish is long and persistent, echoing citrus oils and honeyed complexity. Estimated age feels closer to 25–30 years. (94 pts.)
