Wine Spectator, October 2021

Elegant and focused, with a mature bent to its mix of cinnamon, tea, sandalwood, date and caramel notes. Stylish finish has a twinge of walnut husk keeping it grounded. Drink now.

Aromas of caramel, dried plums, and oranges follow through to a full body, with medium sweetness and a layered palate. A little warm in the finish. Nutty and sweet fruited at the end of the palate. Drink now.

The NV Quinta da Corte 20 Year Tawny Port is a Portuguese wine produced in the renowned Douro region by Quinta da Corte. This wine is a proprietary blend, characterized by its deep red color, typical of tawny ports. The wine is sealed with a cork closure and contains 20.0% alcohol by volume.

As a Tawny Port, this wine has been aged for 20 years, which imparts a complex profile that is both rich and nuanced. These ports are known for their oxidative aging process, which contributes to their distinctive amber hue and deep, layered flavors. While specific reviews are not available, tawny ports of this age typically offer notes of dried fruits, nuts, and caramel, with a smooth and velvety texture.

Quinta da Corte is recognized for its dedication to quality, and this 20 Year Tawny Port is a testament to their craftsmanship. The aging process in seasoned oak casks allows for the development of intricate flavors and a balanced sweetness that is neither overwhelming nor cloying.

In terms of pairing, tawny ports like this one are versatile and can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of desserts, particularly those with nuts or caramel. They also complement savory dishes such as pâtés and blue cheeses.

While no specific professional reviews are available for this wine, its classification as a 20 Year Tawny Port suggests a certain level of quality and complexity that enthusiasts of fortified wines would likely appreciate. The lack of hyperbole in the description reflects a straightforward expectation of a well-crafted, enjoyable wine experience typical of the Douro region's offerings.
