Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich amber with warm reddish-copper Marsala tones; full-bodied
Nose
Smoked dried fruit — Marsala wine sweetness, fig, date, raisin, caramelised sugar, peat smoke, leather, toffee. Rich and sweet with Sicilian cask influence adding distinctive character
Palate
Marsala sweetness wraps around Port Charlotte peat — smoked fig, date, toffee, burnt orange, dark chocolate, leather, clove. Rich and indulgent with maritime salinity providing balance. Campfire smoke and dried fruit
Finish
Long, sweet-smoky finish — Marsala caramelised fruit and ashy peat smoke linger together. Toffee, leather, and dried fruit at the close
