  Tawny amber colour. Heady aromas of fig and hazelnut, intense on the palate, sweet but not cloying, long finish with singed mandarin zest.

  This is close to exceptional in my opinion, very different but great. I could not describe better than the previous reviewer, see below:
  "{375ml, screwcap, 19%} Golden tawny brown colour. Oak-aged, rancid nose, in the Oz tawny style. Medium sweet palate, with cold tea, caramel, orange peel. High acidity to give structure. Tangy sort of presence, mouth-watering, medium/full weight, with a medium long finish."

Tangy sort of presence, mouth-watering, medium/full weight, with a medium long finish. But, it’s just a little simple and paint-by-numbers in execution. Little of the treacle-and-molasses you get from Spanish equivalents with the PX variety labelling. Despite the labelling of this, I was expecting something perhaps richer and fresher, and just slightly less alcoholic.

  Tasty and fun, love the mixture of salt and sweetness. At $20 it works it out.

  Slightly opaque with a brownish caramel color. Nose is sweet with fig, plum, raisin and cherry licorice. Medium Bodied and syrupy with flavors of fig, raisin and caramel. Good dessert wine. A little less like traditional port.
