The tawny color hints to the oxidative aging. The nose has sweet spice, cedar, walnut, and dried preserved fruit. The palate carries the dried fruit and nuttiness along with a baking spice and toffee note. There is a slight perception of tannin via a dusty drying finish but well integrated. The wine finishes with a lingering sweet nutty element. Pair this wine with medium sweet nut based desserts (walnut, almond, pistachio), bitter sweet chocolate with toffee, aged nutty cheeses (cheddar), or toasted coconut.
