Ferreira Duque de Braganca 20 Year Old Tawny has an attractive tawny color with coppery hues. Its intense bouquet shows the character of a well-balanced maturing through oxidation: dry fruits, spices and a hint of ripe fruit and marmalade. In the mouth it is a full-bodied, delicate, soft, velvety and lingering wine. In spite of its age it has a marked and well-balanced freshness, a consequence of the refreshing with younger wines carried out through its maturation. It is a fine, elegant and deeply lingering wine. It makes a very elegant aperitif and goes well with several rich starters, such as foie-gras or intense cheese pies, salty dumplings or a sea-food. It is perfect with desserts such as creme caramel, apple pie and dry fruits or even fresh peaches. It is also a great accompaniment for cured or blue cheese, and is delicious if served on its own.

Always great, this is softer, less intense than in the past. But there is still great richness, and power as well as smoothness, burnt caramel blending well with the spirit, and finishing with its inimitable fresh acidity.

The light amber-colored 20 year old Duque de Braganca reveals an attractive, spicy nose, sweet, ripe, full-bodied fruit, and copious amounts of alcohol. It is one of the better 20 year old ports I have tasted.

Very fruity for a 20-year-old. Medium- to full-bodied, with medium sweetness, and a prune and light caramel finish. Good but simple. Drink now. 4,800 cases made.
