RS 120 g/l. Much nuttier and more complex than their 10 Year Old – a real step up in complexity. Luscious, thick, complex, superbly balanced and satisfying. Incredible length. A definite treasure. (RH)

Pale-medium tawny amber. Curry spice, dark chocolate and clove oak. Good freshness, bringing some dried red and black fruit to support the spice and dark-chocolate style. Long, smoky, dark-chocolate finish with quite well-integrated alcohol. (TJ)

Mid tawny colour. Sweet, nutty richness on the nose blends with pure, layered sweet fruit. Bursting with intense fruit, sweet spices and dried figs. Long and joyful with impeccable balance. Benchmark Tawny. (TP)

Very pale rose-coloured tawny colour. Not that aromatic but very delicate on the palate with some rancio character and marked acidity. Arguably too delicate to serve with food. I'd favour the 10 Year Old Tawny over this to serve with cheese and/or nuts. Sip this contemplatively. At its peak now so no point in keeping it. Very handsome packaging in a squat flask and wooden stopper – comes in a smart cylinder with wooden lid. (JR)

Tawny with a hint of red at the core. Nutty flavour and silky texture. Surprisingly delicate on the palate – elegance over power but persistent. (JH)
