and some complexity.

creamy-smooth, alcohol, spices, caramel, honey, confit fruits (figs,
dates, raisins), some nutty impresions, some freshness, excellent
balance.
Finish:
very long, intense, sweet, soft and smooth, with lots of spiuces,
caramel, dried fruits, some smoke, nuts, an attractive bitterness and a
cleaning mild acidity, very well balanced.
* A very sweet, rich,
super smooth and unctuous fortified wine made from sun-dried grapes,
loads of spicy, nutty, sweet impressions of dried fruit and caramel are
harmoniously combined with a rich and velvety smooth sweetness. One of
the classics of Spain.
- Drink this (Port-Sherry-cross-like) wine from now on, will withstand
many month of open bottle, but will lose some of its freshness. There
is no hurry in consuming. Will last decades but will not improve.
- Major producer in the
very south of Spain with an impressive array of wines, best known for
its classic Málaga's.
