Aroma: dried fruit, honey, nutty

Palate: caramel, nut, long finish

A deeply concentrated thirty-year tawny with intense dried fruit, toffee and a complex spiced wood character.

What it pairs with

  • Pecan and date pudding
    Dense dried-fruit sweetness mirrors the wine.
  • Coffee-dusted dark chocolate
    Roasted coffee notes link the wine and the dessert.
  • Aged hard cheese
    The wine's mellow intensity carries a strongly flavoured cheese.
