I had previously blogged about these Southern France fortified wines and how they represented a good opportunity to taste some really aged wines at a very reasonable cost. As I wrote in the previous entry, I tasted this wine at the Wine Fair a little while after I had bought a bottle. The tasting confirmed that I was not mistaken about my purchase. This 81 year old wine was brown with pink tints, with a slightly smoky vine fruit nutty nose. The palate was sweet nutty with vine fruit notes, well supported by an acid backbone. Delicious and worth every cent of what I had paid for this ancient wonder!
