Colour has got paler tawny since I last had this wine by still bright. Dried candied and orange, burnt toffee, wood polish, cinnamon, clove. The palate is super intense, medium sweet, tons of spice and pepper, orange, espresso coffee, some alcohol but in a good way, and a very long finish which is good for about a minute.

toffee/ orange on the nose gently sweet, dates, fig, very mellow and a touch earthy, long warming in the mouth, there's some marmalade and pineapple here too.

Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): More floral than the 97. Smooth and velvety on the palate with orange marmalade, honey, caramel and cigar smoke. Subtle complexity in here. Unlike the 97, this is not aged in Cognac barrels.
