Description and Reviews:
Review:
In the glass it has a very attractively burnished, orange-toasty-golden hue and it has a hint of the traditional green rim too. It certainly has a bright and lively nose, with scents of roasted almonds and tinges of citrus fruit, along with a slightly high-toned character which comes with nuances of toast and some more obvious dry-baked earth. There is certainly no shortage of complexity or interest here. To my surprise on the palate there is rather more flesh to it than I recall, a finding which no doubt reflects the residual sugar in this wine. There is sweetness, although not the fat obviousness that you see in some basic Madeira, it is more polished and balanced than that. In terms of flavour it has a savoury, baked-earth character, with nuances of lightly dried fruits behind. It comes together in a fascinating bitter-sweet paradox, and this lingers through the grippy finish.
