TASTING NOTES
|
|
Tokaj-Hetszolo Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2009
"Aromas of wildflowers, honey, apricots and caramel, bordering on luscious nectar yet held together and carried forward by that fresh, urgent acidity." - Winemaker's notes.
|
|
|
Quinta do Noval Tawny
"Intense brick colour. It has a more complex nose than the Ruby, showing youthful fruit with a raspberry character. On the palate It is medium sweet with a well balanced fruit and richness. Drink it slightly chilled as an aperitif or at room temperature with a dessert." - Winemaker's notes.

|
Domaine Laporte Estime 2014
"On the nose, candied exotic fruits and nuances of dried fruits like apricot and almond. There is a balance between acidity and suppleness on the palate, with good sugar levels and a long finish." - Winemaker's notes.
