Tasting Notes

With 149g of residual sugar, this distinguished wine effuses finesse, elegance and grace. With an expressive bouquet of dried apricot, espresso and menthol, it opens up in the glass to roasted walnut, maple, fig and caramelised sugar. Although endowed with a sweet character, this madeira has beautiful acidity to balance the unctuous richness, and a finish that persists.
