fortified wine

Harveys, Very Old Amontillado VORS NV

Very full and weighty example. Expressive aromas of aged leather and polish, figs with roasted walnuts and dried golden stone fruits. Savoury palate with fruit richness and complex earthiness. Very clearly well made, noticeable alcohol heat but opulent, long finish.
