Community Tasting Note

WineKnurd Likes this wine:

Sunday, August 21, 2016 - Dessert wine selected for dinner at Chef & the Farmer in Kinston NC, me and Mrs. Knurd on an extended date night. Bought the bottle and had the Somm pour us a few glasses since it wasn't offered on the menu. I can't begin to describe in words the ethereal connection between this Madeira and the chocolate chess pie with caramel and crushed pretzel glaze other than it was worth it to buy the entire bottle for just a single glass with that pie. Surprised at the freshness of the fruit on the nose- freshly cut dates where I was expecting more dried / raisiny fruits. Caramel, roasted nuts, some figs, hints of orange peel, woody notes, and molasses all factor in there as well. Poured the remainder into a decanter when I got home, will enjoy over the next few weeks. Very much delivers even at the $66 price tag. Solid A (95) evaluation.
