  This is just such a delightful bottle. Made in the Solera system method, the maturity of flavours shows in both its slightly dirty blood red-brownish colour as well as beautiful aromas of dried figs, dried raisins, musky cherries, oaked coffee, warm toffees and butterscotch, preserved sweet plums and a big backing of brandyish alc. On the palate, it was not as profound though with lots of youth and zingy acidity of preserved sour plums and port like caramel sweetness. Very fresh tasting . This just got more tangy with time and evolved to mandarin peels and overnight oranges. Best of all, this wasn't really that expensive.

  Better on day two. Not as sweet as expected, off-dry but with a lovely complex nose of raisins, nuts and tar. Delicious, lingering flavour but it is the nose that is really captivating.

  Rancid, cooked nose. Palate is all alcoholic heat. Horrible.

  Spain: Night 4- Antonio Perez (Granada): what can one say about this wine? its lightly sweet ( i think about 25% PX), tofee and caramel on the nose, loooong finish and a bit of dryness to round it out. just plain delicious.
