Intense amber colour. Oxidative madeirised aroma, that really rich honeycomb smell, jasmine, dried apricots, lemons stewed in sherry. The palate is dark, rich, sweet lemon syrup and finishes up very pleasantly bitter.
Clearly past its window - it's not the mature flavours, it's the acid that it yearns for now. Does the job nicely all the same. Different job is all.

almost mahogany colored, walnuts, cocoa, madeira - great with almond cake. A little over the hill, but compelling with the right dessert
