Three wines tried from this producer: two rather ho-hum 5
year olds and a very tasty 15 year old Malmsey.
5 Year Old ‘Reserve Dry’
Deep coloured. Rich, caramelly nose leads to a slightly rustic,
nutty palate with quite a bit of sugar. Tasty in a medium sweet style,
despite the ‘dry’ designation. Very good 80/100
5 Year Old ‘Reserve Medium Sweet’
Deep brown colour. Sweet and caramelly
with some acidity and nuttiness on the palate. Not terribly
complex. Good/very good 79/100
Malmsey 15 year old
Very deep colour. Rich, raisiny nose. Lovely richness on the
palate, which shows complex raisiny caramelly flavours with good
acidity and a spicy finish. Good length. Very good+ 87/100
