Oh my god! What a wonderful dessert wine.

Burnt orange color with a copper hue and a pale yellow/orange rim. Color in the bottle is more brown than orange.

Immensely strong nose of curry, indian spices (as if you walked into an Indian restaurant), cinnamon, coffee, brandy, orange peel, tumurac, raisins, figs and dates.

Extremely smooth and soft on the palate, with figs, raisins, dates, coffee, sweet candy, citrus and sweet cherries.

Sweet, Full bodied, bold and buttery with great legs. It actually tastes like a liquor would, without the alcohol burn.

Long finish with a trace of brandy.

17% alcohol.

The high acidity makes this sweet dessert wine, very balanced and non cloying.

Poured from a 375ml bottle.

This is a non vintage bottle, but I held it for 8 years in my cellar, and boy does it show... — 10 years ago

Amazing concentration - unctuous is the word! A little sweeter than the Rare Topaque but the same essence of fruit cake and raisins. Only 350 half bottles of Rare made each year. A stunning fortified!! — 10 years ago

Sweet wine from Australia. Surprisingly amazing! Deep Amber, smell of wood and "rhum raisin" Christmas cake like. Prune, mushroom, long finish, great with blue cheese. Somewhere in between a sauterne and a tawny port (if it's possible) — 10 years ago

Caramel-marzipan-orange-cookie love. Lemon dust and graham goodness, sassafras cola cool, toffee crunch and date, honeycomb and brown sugar-apricot. Rich, full bodied but somehow light on its feet. YES — 10 years ago
