It shows power, depth and spice. There are classic hints of caramel and a fresh feel. That wonderful freshness is what really sells this elegant Tawny and makes it irresistible. It is impeccably balanced. The lift to the fruit gives this some extra juiciness on the bright finish. On opening, it was a bit more ponderous, but it really woke up a couple of days later.

Suave and polished in feel, with hazelnut cream and pecan accents draped over a core of mulled cherry and dried currant flavors. Warm baking spices echo on the finish, which lingers steadily. Drink now. 125 cases imported.
