True vive tawny color. It is the youngest of the Romaneira tawnies with indication of age. In it's complex aroma, the vibrant fruit lovely blends with the attractive and characteristic dry fruits aroma, like nuts. Rich and smooth on the palate it has an elegant structure and a long finish.
Roy Hersh (2010): 94 points. "Simply put, it has raised the bar by which I have measured all 10 year old Tawnies up until now.
