Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Golden amber with honey-gold highlights; bright, rich colouring from dessert wine cask
Nose
Luscious dessert wine sweetness — honey, apricot, peach, white grape, botrytis-like richness. Vanilla cream, marzipan, and saffron. Extraordinarily sweet and perfumed
Palate
Full-bodied and honeyed. Apricot jam, peach, honey, marzipan, vanilla custard, and pronounced Sauternes sweetness. Golden syrup, candied orange, and gentle baking spice. Intensely sweet but balanced by cask strength alcohol
Finish
Long finish. Honey and apricot persist, vanilla cream fades, gentle oak tannins. Lingering dessert wine sweetness coats the palate. One of the more dessert-like SFTC expressions
