Deep blacky burnt umber through mahogany to yellow at rim, pronounced legs.
Nose
Deep and fairly intense aromas of pasas, toffee, caramel, miel de cana (cane honey), and dried figs, a hint of alcohol there too. Still quite young, but very good quality.
Palate
Very fruity: liquid pasas and dried figs, viscous, unctuous and intensely flavoured with toffee predominating and a slight kick from that alcohol, quite a serious wine.
Comments
Considering this wine is only around 5 years old, it is quite intense and strong, which covers the slight lack of complexity due to its youth. It is very good, though, with considerable length.
Price
£ 8.95 per half bottle from Drinkmonger, Edinburgh Agents Vinoceros
