Although part of Barros, Kopke still operates relatively independently, and obviously can draw on good stocks of aged tawnys. This wine certainly tastes all of 20 years, with its richness and dryness finely in balance, and with lemon jelly and intense ripe fruits shining through.

Very interesting aromas of maple syrup, honey, and mahogany. Full-bodied, very rich with a decadent butterscotch and nutty aftertaste. Very typical.
