Purchased on sale--not expensive at all. 18% alcohol. Described on label as "a fine young tawny" "Medium garnet/tawny with orange/red tints"
Color was see-through garnet edging towards mahogany tones
Syrupy scents--raspberry, overripe plums, molasses?--similar flavors; quite sweet to the taste
Nice with chocolate--I had with mini-Heath bars but it would also go nicely with chocolate mousse or pudding, molten chocolate cake (with hot liquid chocolate on the inside of the cake), or German chocolate cake.
A little sweet for my taste but I can see its appeal to others.
I had intended to open a Cockburn 10-year Tawny Port that I had saved, but I wasn't sure where I had stashed it.

Great TN. We had some of this last Saturday with chocolate mousse, and then some more on Sunday with fudge brownies and vanilla ice cream. It cost about $7.50 here (Buffalo). We also recently tried the Fine Tawny and Fine Muscat--both are delicious.

R.L. Bueller also make a "Fine Tokay" Which is also very sweet but quite good (orange, almond and toffee flavors as I recall) for the $12/375 it runs.
