Tasting Notes

Fonseca 20 Year Old Tawny Port

This exquisite 20 year old Tawny from Fonseca is a masterful blend of tradition, time, and terroir. Sourced from premier vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley, it has matured for two decades in seasoned oak casks, evolving into a wine of remarkable depth, elegance, and complexity.

  • Its rich amber colour with russet glints hints at the slow, oxidative aging that shapes its character.
  • The nose is inviting and layered, revealing warm aromas of ripe plum, spiced butterscotch, toasted almond, and subtle wood tones.
  • On the palate, it is smooth, silky, and beautifully balanced. Flavours of dried fig and caramelised nuts
  • Delicate spice unfurl gradually, building toward a polished and lingering finish filled with notes of soft caramel and gentle oak.

Tawny Port FAQ's

How should I serve Tawny Port?

Tawny Port is best served slightly chilled, typically between 12–14°C, which enhances its nutty, caramel and dried‑fruit character.

Does Tawny Port need decanting?

Most Tawny Ports do not require decanting, as they are filtered and clarified before bottling. You can explore more in our Port decanting guide.

How long does Tawny Port last once opened?

Thanks to long cask ageing, Tawny Port keeps very well after opening - usually 4–8 weeks if stored upright in a cool, dark place. Our Port storage recommendations explain how to keep it at its best.

What’s the difference between Tawny Port ages (10, 20, 30, 40 Year)?

The age on the label reflects the average age of the blend.

  • 10 Year: fresher, lighter, more fruit‑driven.
  • 20 Year: balanced, nutty, caramelised.
  • 30 Year: deeper, more complex and concentrated.
  • 40 Year: intense, elegant and exceptionally refined.

Each step up in aged port reflects greater time in cask and more complexity.
