  Medium sweet characters with flavours of burnt bitter orange marmalade, roasted nuts and coffee. Saline and mineral with super acidity, an extraordinary bitter sweet character and a never-ending finish. Very impressive. 93pts

  Burnt sugar, burnt toast, rum, eucalyptus, cardamon, pear on the nose, and so much alcohol. It smells far more alcoholic than it is (it is 19%). It is the same in the mouth, with more almond and honey cake notes, but the alcohol overwhelms a bit. I think with food (fruit cake, hard cheeses, dried fruits it would be more approachable.

  Great intensity of aromas. Old leather, spices, orange peel, preserved citrus, coffee, dust, vanilla. Full bodied with flavors consistant with the aromas. There is a nice bitterness throughout this wine on the palate. Also, a very balanced sweetness level. I rank it as medium sweet; but you could go medium dry I suppose. Pair with any sweet dessert, but good just by itself too.

  Medium brown in color and you can tell from the legs it has significant viscosity. Dried figs, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, buttered brown sugar, orange marmalade, toasted walnut, banana, and a hint of alcohol on the nose. Heavy sweetness, golden raisin, golden delicious apple, burnt caramel and a touch of coffee on the palate. Thick luscious mouthfeel but the amount of sugar in this means that isn’t a surprise in the least, luckily there is a nice acidity that pushes back the sweetness to keep it from being overwhelming. Hoisin sauce, nuttiness, and once the sweetness has faded enough a hint of a tannic bite on the finish.

  Bright brown-gold, with a nose of sweet pipe tobacco and marmalade. Beautifully balanced - bright acidity against sweetness, with flavours of nuts, spice and candied orange.
