The color is tawny of course: deep brick with some amber at the edges. Intense but elegant bouquet developed through 10 years or more in the barrel. Ten years refers to the average but with a Taylor Tawny, you can count on a little exaggeration to the up side rather than the down side. Very fine oak frames the complex flavors: ripe red fruits, toasted nuts, chocolate, figs and citrus zest. Very smooth, very long. When I visited Taylor Fladgate about a decade ago, I was particularly impressed with the 20-Year Tawny, and it is undeniably a giant step up. For the price, though, and for more frequent drinking, I am happy with this 10-Year-Old Tawny.
