Decanter, 95 Points 

"A blend from the older dry-stone terraced vineyards at Quinta de la Rosa. Delicate yet with a fruity spectrum of flavours: lingering tangerine peel, grapefruit marmalade and apricot glaze. Toasted almonds and cinnamon add nuance. Bright, persistent acidity makes for a long, lightly honeyed finish." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"Toasted almonds, dried blood orange and milk chocolate. Mellow and sweet with just enough acidity to keep it fresh. Medium to full body. Dried fruit and caramel. Spicy and racy. Long finish. Bottled in 2022. Drink now." 

Wine & Spirits, 92 Points 

"A rich style of Tawny Port, this has the floral sweetness of nectarines, leaning into supple touches of honey, then pulling back to spicy apricot-skin savor. It’s smoky and convincingly long in flavor, a pretty wine on the youthful side of 20. *Best Buy*" 

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points 

"With its memorable squat bottle, this is a classic 20-year old tawny. It retains memories of fruitiness but is focused on concentrated acidity, dried-fruit flavors and textural richness." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"A bright, floral style, with white raisin, peach and bergamot notes gliding along, laced with light balsamic and sesame hints. Offers an open, fresh finish. Bottled in 2016. Drink now." 

Wine Advocate, 90 Points 

"The NV 20 Year Old Tawny was bottled in a 500-milliliter bottle in 2016 with a bar-top cork and 105 grams of sugar. Adding some needed depth to the 10 Year Old this issue, this still is on the lighter side for a 20, emphasizing freshness rather than concentration or power. It's a pleasure to drink, lively and enlivening, finishing with that bit of caramel and sugar. It does lack that exciting and juicy zest of the 10, so they aren't as far apart as they initially seem, just very different. The price of these two is not quite as far apart as 10s and 20s normally are. For the modest uptick, I'd still take the 20."
