Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Burnished copper-gold with rose highlights; distinct Madeira-influenced hue
Nose
Tropical fruit and wine — mango, dried apricot, orange, candied peel, raisin. Toffee, butterscotch, and a distinct winey sweetness. More exotic and fruit-forward than sherry SFTC releases
Palate
Full-bodied, syrupy texture. Tropical fruit compote, dried apricot, honey, butterscotch, walnut, and distinctive Madeira wine sweetness. Orange marmalade and baking spice
Finish
Long finish. Tropical fruit fades through butterscotch, gentle oak, and lingering wine sweetness. Slightly drier than sherry SFTC with more tannic grip
