Medium to dark ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose.
A well balanced & smooth Tawny/port for under $20 that you can describe as either a lighter style port or a more red fruit tawny
Positives: This wine features dried figs, Christmas cake, maraschino cherry in dark chocolate, Kirsch and roasted almonds. Full body with low tannins, good acidity and a fairly long length.
Negatives: None
Drink now or cellar it for 5 years and drink on its own or pair it with Chris De La Rosa’s, via Go Cooking, Guinness Ice Cream.
