About this Item
A rare and gracefully aged fortified wine and a collector's treasure. Bottled before the advent of SAWIS certification and mandatory alcohol declaration, this jewel offers a rare glimpse into a golden era of craftsmanship. On the nose, it unveils an intricate bouquet of caramel, hazelnuts, and potpourri that speaks of slow evolution. The palate is creamy and alive with a gentle freshness that defies its age. Delicate tannins frame the wine, leading to a long, smooth finish. Matured for more than seven decades, it represents a moment in time for those seeking the truly extraordinary
