What a treat. This is 122 years from vintage. McKinley was president when the grapes were grown. The color of dark iced tea, mostly clear and bright. The nose has Tootsie-Rolls, toffee, orange marmalade and slight bitters. Full bodied. Vibrant acidity. Fresh and delicious. On the palate, toffee, orange peel, slight coffee and slight alcohol heat. Long, long finish. Complex. A contemplative experience for sure. This could likely go another 100 years. While it would work with a less sweet dessert, this probably is best consumed on its own to really appreciate.
