By the glass. Masculine aromas of cedar, dark chocolate and coffee. Also some mature fruit. On the palate has a bright acidity and a extraordinary length. Unsurprisingly a very good bottle.
Por copas. Aromas masculinos de cedro, chocolate negro y café. También algunas frutas maduras. En boca tiene una acidez brillante y una longitud extraordinaria. Como era de esperar, una botella muy buena.

This wine is fantastic with chocolate cake. The rancio flavors, the earthiness and stamina of this wine makes it of very few to pull this off. Terribly under-rated and under-priced as so many dessert wines.

Fairly pale and evolved color as you would expect with the oxidative aging followed by cask aging. Combines evolved fruit with tertiary aromas. Intense plummy, eau-de-vie nose with earthy, cacao. great richness, texture and length. Not likely to evolve much but should last quite a while. Delicious!

Sepia with Elaine and Chirong (Sepia, Sydney): Yeasty sherry, madeirized nose. Complex, meaty and savory, reminiscent of PX, and lees. Toasted nuts, honey and figs on palate, and beautifully yummy with the autumn chocolate forest with hazelnut, almond, violet crumble cream, blackberry sorbet, rose jelly, green tea, licorice, chocolate twigs, fennel and violets!

The color is clear, developed brick red. The nose is clean, med+ intensity, raisins, ripe fig, prunes, caramel, fig jam, apple marmelade, warm character and well hidden alcohol. Sweet, med body and med+ intensity, 16% alcohol that shows, fig and raisin mostly, apple marmelade, hints of chocolate and coffee, med to long finish, could have used more concentration in the palate. Very good quality, drink now but I'm guessing it can hold
