Clasificado como Medium rich – meio doce. Caoba pálido. Nariz exótica, con matices de curry, toques también de especias dulces, algo de caramelo, clavo, una intrigante mineralidad. algo de barniz de mueble viejo y toques de corteza de mandarina. En boca tiene buen ataque, con volumen, cierta calidez, dulzor equilibrado (unos 85 gr. de azúcar residual y 19% vol alc. pero, curiosamente, se percibe quizás más el alcohol, pero menos la dulzura que en la previa sercial). Largo y evocador.

Aromas of figs, raisins, chocolate, orange rind, wallnut, old wood, caramel and roasted coffee waft from the glass. Sensual and complex. In the mouth rich and creamy but balanced by the super fresh acidity.

On the palate the wine is sweet, with high acidity, high alcohol, and a medium body. The flavour intensity is medium, flavours are tertiary and include walnut, roasted almond, toffee, coffee and caramel. The wine has a creamy texture, the alcohol is warming, the finish has medium length.
This is a good quality wine since it has medium complexity, medium intensity and medium length. To be considered being of very good quality it would need better integration of the alcohol and greater length.
The wine has been matured in oxidative conditions. Thanks to this maturation and to its high acidity and high alcohol it will keep on this level for a few years, but it will not improve, and is hence to be considered not suitable for further ageing in bottle.
NB: Much less convincing than a bottle I tasted five years ago.

Wallnuts, oak, caramel, dried figs and raisins. Liveliy acid though medium sweet. Long aftertaste in excellent combination of sweetness and dryness.
