Tasting: Gold in colour, with mahogany reflections, this high-class Tawny immediately seduces with the complexity of its aromas: a heady mix of currants, liquorice, cinnamon, candied citrus peel, coffee, cashew, caramel, walnut … and more.
The palate is soft and harmonious, with a fine width which develops in an equally complex fashion. Fresh, flavoursome and well-balanced, it progresses to a long, rich and well-defined finish.
Pairing: Ready for drinking now, and will combine nicely as an aperitif with goat’s cheese on French toast. It would also make a rich combination with calf sweetbreads or a chicken tagine with preserved lemons. For dessert, it provides the perfect accompaniment to a hazelnut chocolate cake or cream coffee cake. Serve at between 10° and 12°.
Keeping: 20 years.
Aromas of caramel, dried plums, and oranges follow through to a full body, with medium sweetness and a layered palate. A little warm in the finish. Nutty and sweet fruited at the end of the palate. Drink now.
