A Touriga Nacional-based blend of traditional Douro red varieties, grown on schist-sandstone soils at 600 meters of elevation • Tawny port is a style marked by the oxidative characteristics of long aging in oak barrels • Casks of different years are then blended to achieve the desired age character – in Kopke’s case, the age on the label is the average age of all the wines in the blend • Wines labeled with average age of the blend (20 year) are commonly referred to as “Statement of Age” Tawny.

"This wine opens with aromas of creme de cassis, a toasty, oxidative twist and a touch of tobacco. The palate is full-bodied yet bright and agile, featuring integrated sweetness that leads to a smoky finish with hints of salted caramel. Drink or hold."

"Mid golden brown. Rich and earthy with some mushroom notes as well as nuts, especially walnuts, polished dark wood, and dried fruits. Creamy, rounded and viscous in the mouth, the spirit completely meshed with the fruit, the acidity the perfect counterpoint to the sweetness. Smooth and complex. (JH)"
