I just may have to do a very thorough tasting of Tawnies. First a 10 year old grouping, followed by a 20 year old batch, then 30 and 40. I think that would be very telling and provide some interesting information for those looking to try something different.

Maybe a panel tasting would be required!

It's funny, since I first posted this thread I've had the opportunity to taste a fair number of aged tawny ports and I must say the differences are obvious to me now. I find that during the summer I really enjoy the "nuttiness" of a nice aged tawny.

I am going to start having to try colheita's now!
