$21.99

small amounts of carmel & pecans and even smaller amounts of cherry.

will not buy again based on this single bottle.

Michael,

What about the Fonseca 10 year old Tawny didn't you like?

it was uninspiring at best. the amount of character it had was gauged as "small amounts".

while it didn't break the bank, i'm really hoping to find better 10 years out there. while i do not feel qualified to assign "points", it wouldn't surprise me to see others score this in an 85 point range. and life is just too short!

Amen brother :hello:

I agree, while the Fonseca 10 year is a decent bottle of Tawny and I have enjoyed it for an easy drinking QPR, there are others that I prefer for just a couple dollars more.
