Reviews
96 Points- PORT TROPHY WINNER- IWC 2024
Golden brown in colour, this is a fabulously concentrated sweet wine with honey, raisins, dates and even a hint of treacle. Some old furniture, roasted nuts and spice. Such complexity.
95 Points - GOLD- Decanter 2024
A luxurious treat with seductive cocoa nib and mocha notes swaddled in a gloriously rich blanket of dates and toffee, finishing with a sweet and sour magnificence.
