Rich mahogany, fading to copper gold on the rim. The wine envelops the nose with a superb and heady mixture of opulent and seductive aromas. A wave of rum and raisin, molasses and caramel are overlaid with delicate notes of coffee beans, golden sultanas, sweet cigar leaf, combined with an elegant nuttiness and the subtle scent of fine oak. On the palate, hints of nutmeg, gingerbread, anise and quince, quickly followed by a surge of black pepper, rich figgy plum pudding and confit apricot. The wine is in perfect balance with sweetness, a smooth velvety palate which is lifted by a crisp acidity, which gives the wine an attractive freshness and elegance. The finish is immensely long, finely constituted and wonderfully balanced. A wine with incredible depth and layers of complexity. The perfect way to remember such a poignant and historic event as peace was declared at the end of the Second World War.
