Incredibly dense, but also incredibly fresh. Luscious and syrupy, but at the same time showing dried oranges, raisins, dried peaches. Coffee, chocolate and hazelnuts are there as well, but I was really surprised by his uplifted fruitiness. High alcohol, but well integrated.
A real pleasure.

Deep brown in the glass with amber edges, sweet but not cloying, rich mouthfeel with notes of dates, brown sugar, and creme brûlée, long lingering finish. Very nice.

Not a big fan of PX generally as it can be too sweet without the requisite acidity to balance it but this was different... Amber to brown in colour, coffee, toffee, walnut and hazelnut and emulsion paint on the nose (this is a compliment by the way ;-) and flavours of raisin, molasses, raisin skin and dried apricots and sweet grapey flavours at the end which leaves a relatively fresh finish. Very good.
