Note: This wine comes in a 375 mL bottle (half size).
Made from grapes off half-century-old vines, this wine shines a murky brick red color and exudes a bouquet of plum, leather, and cocoa. Nutty aromas and the essence of stewed fruit provide a raisiny nose. Overall, an elegant and balanced wine with focused spiced berry and ripe plum flavors.

Food Pairing Notes
Classic partners include roasted nuts and blue cheese. Also, any dish that includes bittersweet chocolate makes a great companion.
Other Notes
Because dessert wines like this are both fortified and sweet, opened bottles generally last longer than opened bottles of regular table wine – anywhere from two weeks to four months.
