Yalumba's Rutherglen Tawny, at $27 a bottle, was, in my opinion, the top value of the National Tasting Project lineup. I am a long time fan of Taylor-Fladgate 10- and 20-year tawny, and I thought this antique tawny measured up quite well with the Taylor 10-year, which sells for $30 to $35.
Deep tawny color, clear and bright. Beautiful lifted tawny bouquet. Dried fruit, nuts, dates and exotic spices. Good viscosity and acid. Sweet, smooth and long. Eveybody at our table loved this wine, even those who are not regular port drinkers. I gave it 17.0/20.
