Sample, thanks to Danlo! Pours a deep mahogany, aroma is intensely sweet, some overipe dark fruits, currants, oak varnish. Taste continues along similar lines, exceedingly sweet with strong port and dark fruits emerging, varnish, toasted oak, burnt brown sugar, rich toffee apple. Syrupy on the palate. Nice depth of flavour.
375ml bottle from Cider is Wine. Deep amber brown colour, no head and aroma of port, boozy, brown sugar, oak barrel, dried fruits, apple pie, very complex. Taste is sweet, syrupy, concentrated apple, figs, dried fruits, with pastry & apple pie hints, and tannins, some tartness, then walnuts, nutty. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry nutty and sweet syrupy finish. Amazing complexity, very sippable.
