$40.25The Story
One of the great old 'houses' of Rutherglen. A long time producer of amazing fortified wines but in more recent years has successfully branched out to include some Italian varietals in the range.
This is a 50yr+ average blend.
"Blackish brown-burnt sienna; the bouquet shrieks age and complexity - the aromas of an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb. The wine pours so slowly and reluctantly down the side of the glass you feel like licking the interior to provide a slow moving spillway. The most extraordinary aspect is the way the wine disappears after all the excitement, leaving the mouth fresh. 375ml." 98pts - James Halliday - Wine Companion
