NV Pacheca 20 Year Old Tawny

[Eric Menchen]

Bottled 2015. Spirit and red hot cinnamon aroma up front, with some wood and earthiness in the back. Much nicer in the mouth (than the 10 year old), thicker bodied, with flavors of sweet orange marmalade, caramel, brûlée, almond skin … Good tangy acid, and some toffee flavor. Later, the aromas were more of dried fruit. This is quite sweet in the mouth, just a little too sweet on balance. Yet later there was some orange cinnamon aroma. 92-93 points.
