The nose is biscuity, caramel-like, cream Sherry-like with a touch of cheese-like rancio. The palate entry tastes like bittersweet dark chocolate, cocoa butter, chocolate-covered raisins and dark honey; the mid-palate is fruity and less bittersweet than the entry, making for a succulent aftertaste. A genuine classic and a Wine Enthusiast "Best Buy."
