TASTING NOTE: An exquisite melange of dried fruits, roasted nuts, honey, toffee, mocha and truffly forest floor notes. And that's just the bouquet! On the palate it's medium sweet with clove, walnut oil, espresso, raisins and orange zest. Here's a lovely sipper of immense length and subtlety to enjoy by the fire as you welcome in the days of fall and winter. And it'll keep, with the cork back in, for weeks. Serve all by itself or with cheese, fruit and nuts. Score - 94 (Frank Baldock, winexpress.ca, Fall 2015) |
