The detached eclipsing binary V20 in the old, metal--rich open cluster NGC 6791 is studied in order to determine highly accurate masses and radii of its components. This allows the cluster age to be established with high precision, using isochrones in the mass-radius diagram. We employ high-resolution UVES spectroscopy of V20 to determine the spect...
