If experience develops character, that would explain why our venerable 20 Year Old has it in spades, along with a freshness and lightness that belies its age. When this wine went into oak, mobile phones were still a novelty and electric cars were science fiction. After two decades of aging, the subtlety and smoothness it has gained are unparalleled. Not surprisingly perhaps, nostalgic favorites like warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Makes significant birthday celebrations that much sweeter.
A bright amber tawny with complex aromas of nuts, honey, and fruitcake. Warm nutty flavors lead to a long and memorable finish. Serve chilled straight from the fridge in a large wine glass to fully appreciate its complex aromas. Cockburn’s 20-Year-Old Tawny is delicious on its own but is also delicious with dried fruits and nuts, fruitcake, vanilla ice cream, or crème brûlée.
