95 points James Suckling: "The aromas to this beautiful tawny port are saturated with burnt orange peel, caramel, candied fruit and hints of honey-coated nuts. Full-bodied, very fruity and dense with intense nut and mahogany flavors. Hints of sultanas, chocolate and coffee. Extremely creamy, long and flavorful. Delicious all the way. Better served slightly chilled. Drink now. (6/22/19)"

94 points and 'Year's Best Port (2016),' Wine & Spirits: "A complex and satisfying Tawny, this sits on the cusp of maturity with freshness continuing to infuse its deepening flavors. That freshness arrives in bold scents of orange zest and juicy citrus flavors, while the maturity mellows those flavors into layers of Marcona almond, date and sweet oak-smoke notes. It finishes with a hint of schist in the tannins. For fruit and cheese at the end of the meal. (Dec 2016)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "A warm, flattering style, with date, ginseng, toffee, caramel and mulled raisin flavors that take on a plump feel as they move through, ending with a flash of green tea that keeps this just lively enough. Leans toward the sweeter side and will have lots of fans for sure. Drink now. (6/30/18)"

92 points Robert Parker: "It is my opinion that Taylor's tawny ports are the best of their type. When tasted against other tawnys, they all exhibit more aromatic personalities, greater fruit and ripeness, and a wonderful sweetness and length. Although I find the Thirty Year Old Tawny admirable, I prefer the richer, more vibrant Twenty Year Old Tawny."

92 points Roy Hersh (For The Love of Port): "I’ve always liked the Taylor 20 considerably more than the 10 year old, given how much more evolution it exhibits. From a just opened bottle at a trade tasting, luscious walnut, cedar and toffee flavors delight the senses, both aromatically and while slowly sipping the contents of my glass. A lingering butterscotch impression adds depth to this well-made, complex Tawny. (Issue #52)"

92 points Decanter: "A linear, delicate yet seamless style, with nutty and spicy aromas leading to dried apricot flavours encircled by tertiary leather notes. Rounded and characterful. (8/13/17)"
