Tasting Notes:  Dark mahogany colour with bronze hues. Concentrated aromas of ripe fruits,  spice box, raisin, mocca, cocoa and toffee. Very clean on the palate, with a clean acidity and flavour of raisins, nuts, crystallized orange and candied peel.

Notes: Best drank after the meal as sweet digestif, goes very well with rich cakes and  blue cheeses.
