NV Quevedo Tawny 20YO (Claudia's Blend) (bottled 2021)
Posted: 23:34 Mon 24 Jan 2022
From 90ml.
P'n'P
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)
