Excellent dessert wine - with some port like elements, but much softer and with less raison flavours than port. Instead, a good amount of floral and rasberry fruit.

Floral and a bit porty on the nose with hints of cedar and raspberry jam. Medium ruby color and deceptively light causing you to expect something lean and dry but then on your first sip you're hit with intense, sweet fig, candied ginger and chocolate. The sweetness is not overwhelming and perfectly balanced with fruit and acidity, leaving you with a fresh, medium finish. Amazing to think what this will taste like in a decade or two. Decant to remove the large amount of sediment in this bottle

Delicious dessert wine. Wonderfully palate of figs that is nicely balanced, with a lovely semi-sweet finish. Reminiscent of a fine recioto.
