NobleRottersSydney - Hunter Valley (Verde, East Sydney): {cork, 18.5%} (Gordon) A twenty-five year old bottle, so the relationship it bears to a similarly-named wine from McWilliams is unknown. “Limited Release MCW11” this was called. It has a spectacular and ancient rancio and raisin quality to the bouquet; with blended prunes, raisins and Christmas cake on the palate. Warm and cuddly. A wine with a candle burning in the background. It is tooth-achingly sweet, but still cut with plenty of acid. Thoroughly decadent.

Tasted this during the Willie's Chocolate & Wine Masterclass organised by Wine Exchange Asia. Paired with the San Augustin Chocolate.
Dark brown in colour with dry figs, nectar, toffee, raisins and dried prunes. Long, sweet finish.
