Description

Deep chestnut brown at the centre gradually fading to amber and a narrow edge of pale straw at the rim. The nose is intense but finely constituted and the aromas are remarkably delicate and ethereal given its great age. Undertones of butterscotch, dried figs and freshly ground coffee intermingle with marzipan and sultana to give the wine an opulent, plum pudding character. On the palate the wine has a light touch displaying bright acidity and perfect balance but holds massive reserves of aroma which emerge on the long finish in a seemingly endless mellow surge.
