A tawny to mahogany hue with bright golden edges. An opulent, intense and hedonistic nose of freshly roasted coffee beans, chocolate, Asian spices, clove, camphor & woodsmoke. The glass exudes warmth; figgy, with a Madeira-like edge to it. Thick and palate-coating with a succulent, velvety texture. Wonderful opulent sweetness on the mid-palate followed by the clean refreshing cut of lively acidity making the wine vibrant and racy. Nice balance and tension. Amazingly rich with plenty of raisin and walnut and a heady warmth. What length too – stays on the palate for ages with enduring perfection. Really impressive stuff!
Pale red-mahogany in colour with an olive-green tinge to the rim. Gloriously lifted and maderised on the nose with a touch of sultana, molasses and roasted coffee. Rich and beautifully intense on the palate; a smooth, slightly syrupy resonance offset by a lithe streak of acidity, which keeps the wine fresh all the way through. Long and languorous on the finish, with lovely toasty, malty complexity. Superb laidback and hedonistic.
