This is a lively, elegant, effortless and smooth tawny. The nose exudes over-ripened/dried cherries, dates, milk chocolate and some dried wood spice. It is medium bodied (not at all thick) very sweet with some alcohol heat, wood tannin and fresh acidity. The length is very good but there is a sense of wanting more.
