Sevastopol 1994

I tasted this wine at last year's Wine and Dine Festival at the booth where I discovered the Massandra wines last year. They were introducing another winery from Crimea, Inkerman. Apart from some sparkling wines, of which I had a taste of the rose, I also tasted this port style fortified wine, Sevastopol 1994. They did not tell me too much about the wine at the show and I could not find much on the Internet, except that it is a blend of Rkatsitelli, Sauvignon (presumably Blanc), Riesling and. Kokur. As for the wine, it was a golden orange colour with a sweet acid nutty sherry nose. It was sweet grapey and nutty on the palate, with an acid sherry backbone for support.
