There’s hardly any tawny color to speak of here; it’s actually deep red, much like a dry table wine. On the palate, candied flavors mingle with powerful berries. The finish is heavy and exceedingly long, offering flavors of coffee and burnt toast. This tawny is youthful and warm, emphasizing fruit over typical toffee and caramel characteristics. ——M.S.(7/1/2002)—— 84
