This is very intense with burnt brown sugar toffee caramel treacle tart and volatile notes. Burnt orange peel too. Hint of turpentine but it?s no bother. It?s full-bodied very sweet and dense like molasses but it remains liquid and lightly syrupy. The finish is intense and powerful with a light acetone note to the caramel character. It was aged 125 years in cask in a forgotten cellar in the Douro Valley and bottled in 2021. A tiny-production uniquely historical fortified wine. Drink now.
