Dow Colheita Tawny 1982

1982 Dow Porto Colheita Single Harvest Tawny
20% abv, 110 g/l sugar. Mahogany colour. It smells of figs, some aged oxidative character, but still with lots of fruit, quite a bit of alcohol showing. The palate is very sweet, bracing because of quite high alcohol. It's pleasant but doesn't really seem as aged as I would like a 30yo Tawny to be; and the alcohol is too obvious. Nice, but not great.
