Deep brown in colour. Aromatic Christmas cake, raisin and treacle nose. The palate is incredibly concentrated and viscous with amazingly intense sweet treacle, molasses, raisin and date flavours. In beautiful balance with nice complexity and a long, long finish. A little goes a long way. 94\/100 (\u00a319.99 Waitrose\/half bottle)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is about as extreme as sweet wine gets.
