winemaker's notes:
A tawny colour with a yellow halo that signifies an advanced stage of maturity. This is the genuine colour of a 20 year-old cask-aged wine. It has a warm red color with a slight orange tone at the bottom of the glass. A lively aroma with a velvety texture. Fruit aromas: grapefruit, apricot, almond, hazelnut and cocoa bean. Wood aromas: vanilla, old Port wine casks and phenol. Roasted aromas:
cinnamon, caramel, coffee. Ethereal aromas: stearin and iodine.
Smooth and dry in the mouth, complemented by a rich and generous persistence of flavour.
A fine and delicious attack. The elegance of the first contact with the palate is maintained
through a complex sequence of ripe and dried fruits and nuts in a fresh and liquorice-like
harmony.
Delicious as an aperitif or following an evening meal. It can also accompany chocolate,
cheeses and cream-based desserts or desserts that are not overly sweet. It goes very well
with dry fruit and nuts, nut cakes and Swiss rolls.
