  December 10, 2022 - Brought this to an impromptu dinner, to serve as a dessert wine. Dark-dark brown in appearance, this was glass-staining!! A few swirls in the glass left brown "imprints" around the walls of the glass! A most complex nose - toffee, sherry (of coz), chocolate, smoke. Most unctuous on the palate, with perhaps just (barely) enough acidity/freshness to prevent this being over-cloying. However, the sweetness also prevents one (or maybe just myself) from having more than 2 small glasses of it at a single session. Need to try (drench) this over ice-cream, though! Can imagine how well this will taste over chilled/cold vanilla ice-cream!

  March 13, 2016 - Consistent with prior notes. Bottle consumed over the course of 1.5 weeks. A nice tangy savory spice (white and black pepper) component to the finish.

  February 23, 2016 - Coffee grounds, raisin, dark chocolate, white pepper, light clove, dry soil. Quite complex, although to some extent the PX sweetness hides some of the complexity

  October 17, 2015 - Deep dark treacle colour. Really viscous and unctuous in the glass, when you swirl it around. An intriguing, multi-dimensional bouquet. Nuances included aromas of dried figs, espresso, burnt toffee, brown sugar, dark chocolate and caramel. Sweet, dense and very rich on palate but not cloying. The layers of flavour in the PX maintain your interest, including figs, caramel, scorched toffee, molasses, sultanas and cloves etc etc. Very concentrated, complex and long. There is pleasant espresso bitterness on the back palate to balance out the sweeter elements. Very good.
