Rich golden red colour. Very smooth with lots of acidity and nutty flavours. I guessed "Colheita from the 1970s". Oscar later revealed that the blend is 70% 1974 Colheita so I was not too disappointed with my guess.

Quevedo 20YO Tawny, from OJMQ.

Brown, hint of red, 50% opacity. ‟Tawny nose”. Medium in length, tawny. (I don’t know how to describe tawnies.)

I guessed an over-10-year Quevedo tawny. Others also a Quevedo product: ’92 colheita; 70s colheita; ’77 colheita; Madeira (!).
