Appearance: Dark, clear amber Nose: A deep nose, dominated by nuts, dried fruit and caramel. Palate: The attack is smooth and intense, driven by dried fruit and nuts, before giving way to sweet spices and a hint of vanilla. The texture is thick and oily, with a pronounced sweetness that weighs slightly on the balance. The finish is persistent, lingering on an unusual note of olive. Overall impression: A deep and generous wine with a creamy texture, whose pronounced sweetness somewhat limits its complexity.
