This was a treat and a new one for me. Iced Tea in color. The nose has a lot of alcohol. When you get past that there is a lovely caramel. It is sweet but not cloying. Much smoother and better on the palate. Caramel and some chocolate. Warm not hot on the finish.
The wine is an iced tea color with a touch of ruby. The nose has Pay-day Candy bar, toffee and crème brulee. Not as complex on the palate with a nice nuttiness and a bit of sweetness. Just a hint of heat. Long finish. Slightly sweet but not overtly. This is a nice take on a 20 year Tawny. It drinks well on its own and would work with more savory desserts (especially with nuts). This should age quite well for the next twenty years.
