Butterscotch and caramel. Creamy mouthfeel. It’s very sweet, one glass definitely enough. Lacks the acidity and complexity you’d find in a good Madeira but still interesting to try. 19.5% abv

Without sounding like a heathen this was heavenly like distilled coca-cola (one of mankind’s all time culinary creations)… figgy, herbal, sweet, sharp, umami and just endlessly delicious. Perfect foil with my somewhat experimental poached quince with whipped blue cheese and caramelised walnuts for Ellen’s mum’s 60th! A little bit of this with the poaching sauce (red wine, honey, cloves) reduced down was a great sauce to finish.

Figgy, rich. Prune. Citrus notes. Sweet but not cloying. Long.

Raisins. Ever so mellow. Long. Delightful. Reminded me of the Tuscan vin santo.
