SWEET NECTAR.…🍯
1. Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2013
Beautiful and intense, with a spicy nose of dried apricot, toasted rye bread and saffron. The palate is rich and silky, with ripe pineapple, mango and Seville orange marmalade notes. The acidity is fresh balancing the sweetness expertly and the finish dances between sweetness and acidity, with delicate saffron and hazelnut notes coming through alongside the fruit character.
2. Alves de Sousa Gaivosa Porto White 10 YO
This 10-year-old white Port is made from a blend of traditional white grape varieties grown in the Douro region, such as Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, and Gouveio. It exhibits a golden colour with amber reflections. On the nose, expect a rich and aromatic bouquet, combining dried fruits, nuts, honey, and a subtle hint of spices. The palate is smooth and velvety, boasting notes of dried apricots, almonds, caramel, and marmalade, creating a luscious and lingering finish.
3. Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, Domaine des Bernardins
Intensely perfumed sweet wine with aromas and flavours of apricots, peaches, honey and raisins. Delicious served chilled. Bernardins is one of the best estates in the village.
4. Curatolo Arini Marsala Vergine Riserva 1995
Light amber colour. Nutty and complex nose with dried fruit, to***co and sweet spices like gingerbread and nougat. The palate has a balanced sweetness, nutty and spicy with mature and complex flavours, almond, biscuits and plenty of dried fruit, a balanced freshness and a long nutty finish.
