From 90ml.

Distinctly orange rim on this light red and barely opaque wine with brownish tints (reminds of that old saying of Emmanuel Giboulot's, that 'colour is not a function of pinot noir'... perhaps 'colour is not a function of 20 year old tawny'?).
Nose redolent of nuts and poached quince. A not unattractive heady note.
Palate surprisingly light and fresh. More orchard fruits than bush fruits, echoing the quince note. Medlar! That's it.
Finishes very dry for a tawny.
Very attractive this. Very moreish. My Q20YOTOFN (Quevedo 20 Year Old Tawny Of The Night)
