An outstanding wine that epitomizes everything that is great about a superbly balanced 20 year old Tawny; the translucent copper colored tone of the wine is matched by the beautiful soft nutty aromas gained by a full 20 years of aging in seasoned oak casks. Otims 20 Years is rich and delicate, but never sloying; the tannins and acidity ensure balance and perfect length.
Roasted sesame seed notes pervade the languid flavors of dried apricot, cherry paste and butter cream. Intense toffee accents show on the supple finish, with hints of Bourbon vanilla. A bit of a throwback, but distinctively rich and complex. Drink now. 825 cases imported.
Warre s seems to have found just the right formula for its tawnys. The 10-Year Old Otima is a fine wine, and so is this Otima 20. It has aromas of almonds, layers of acidity and sweetness, the flavor of bitter oranges, and a round, ripe aftertaste.
