Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
"Excellent fortified wine with strong rancio, woody spice, dried fruit-and-nut characters and clean, refreshing spirit integrated beautifully. Strong scents of fruit and nut dark chocolate, mustard powder, cocoa powder, licorice, cinnamon and toffee. Similar flavours with a little tannin grip and that cool spirit character keeping things fresh and perky. Really well done." Halliday Wine Companion, Mike Bennie.
