  • NV Noon Tawny Port 90 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    Very cloudy with a shed load of sediment. Wonderful toffee and caramel aroma, lush figs and dates. Sticky toffee flavours, coffee, burnt caramel. Oozing with warm mouthcoating fig and date fruit, yet with a nice level of acidity giving some freshness. Bit of a alcohol burn.
