Ramos Pinto 20 years old Tawny
I did had this wine on many occasion in recent years, but I don't know why I had always preferred the 10 years old from Ramos Pinto to the 20. This time the 20 yr just blew me away! Is this the same bottling they are sending to Canada ?
Superbly intense and complex nose of toffee, nutmeg and cinnamon. I just crave nutmeg in tawnies. The palate is as complex displaying zesty acidy to cut trough the sugary texture to give layers of intense and precise flavours of orange peel, candied fruits and dried nuts leading to a lingering finale of spices. To add more, this Port as an impressive and long after taste of toffee. In my absolute rating system I give this a 18,5/20 but probably worth a 20/20 perfect score for a 20 year old tawny.
