95 points James Suckling: "Pretty cherry color with amber edges. Aromas of toffee, brown sugar and burnt caramel with lots of dried fruits. Full. Very sweet. Silky and attractively woody. Real 20-year-old character here. Drink now. (12/21/22)"
94 points Jesús Barquín (The World of Fine Wine): "Bright reddish amber. Delicate nose, rather on the spicy and nutty side, with a warm background of apple pie. Again, delicacy and finesse are the words for its performance on the palate. Quite Burgundian, so to speak, but in the best sense, where finesse goes hand in hand with aroma, structure, and expression. Clean and long finish, one of my favorites. (Issue 58; 2017)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "As a young Port wine drinker, I grew up on Sandeman's 20 Year Tawny, a wine that always overdelivered when it came to gingery energy and shimmering fruit. And though the brand has changed hands, now part of Sogrape, the wine still holds its identity, delicately creamy with lovely floral esters and a zesty feel that lasts. (Dec 2021)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "A bright style, with ginger, singed orange peel, pecan, flan and persimmon flavors that are slightly higher pitched than most tawnies. Ends with fresh cut and focused drive. Drink now. (6/30/18)"
91 points Wine Enthusiast: "An elegant tawny, perfumed with soft tannins and a good edge of wood acidity and spirit. The wine is dry, densely flavored, tasting mature, showing a good balance between young sweetness and age, with everything well integrated. An Editors' Choice. (12/15/08)"
17/20 points (90), Decanter: "Pale to mid-deep amber/tawny hue. Full, fresh and a touch lifted on the nose -- very sweet in style, full of summer fruit. Refined and silky with savoury undertones, not as delicate as some but soft, sweet and refined. Alcohol 20%. (Jan 2013)"
(The Tasting Panel): "Honey, nut, maple and citrus on the nose and in the mouth, with lively citrus and spice accents and a vanilla undernote in a soft tannic embrace. (May 2013)"
