  Light but yummy. Paired great with chocolate lava cake with drunken prunes and espresso ice cream.

  Fabulous stuff. Rich and dense, but with very moderate sweetness. Nutty and complex.

  D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Medium brown
  N: Medium (+) nose of smoke, medicinal, dried herbs, toffee, burnt hazelnuts, chocolate, caramel, burnt citrus skin
  P: Medium sweet [instructor says SWEET], medium (+) acidity, high alcohol, medium (+) intensity, full body, long finish
  Balance isn't there. The high alcohol and sugar content seems too much against the acidity here. It feels very hot.
  Layers of complex flavors and concentrated fruit flavors evolve into a long languid finish.The wine is of Very Good Quality.
  
  Not suitable for ageing.

  From a bottle that had been open for a couple of months, and the flavor developed nicely during that time, getting a deeper, somewhat smoky burnt sugar flavor (though thankfully not to the extent of younger, rapidly heated Madeira). Primary flavors of orange rind and wood, with zesty acidity. Nice long finish.
