fortified wine
Emilio Lustau, Oloroso VORS NV
Outstanding example. Endless depth of fruit and complexity of evolution with leather and varnish a-plenty. Palate expansive with crunchy walnuts and marmalade. Complex and intense. Heat of alcohol is well checked and balanced with umami pleasantness. Does everything you would want it to do.
