Colheita Madeira Tinta Negra Mole

Another bottle I forgot to get a picture of in situ. Made from Tinta Negra in canteiro. A caramel glaze about to burned brown color, veering into golden brown at the rim. Utterly mouthwatering (and I should say nose quivering) aromas of caramel, brown sugar, sugarcane, molasses, coffee, and dark chocolate, plus a hint of earth and smoke. It is sweet, oh yes, it is, but the acid is bracing. The palate confirms the nose with the addition of caramelized grapefruit, figs, dates and cocoa. Geez Louise, it’s good. Almost cola on the finish.

Light brown; dried figs, lemon rind, dates, dried herbs; sweet

Pretty awesome finish to an awesome lineup of wines.

Rich and concentrated, carmel, nuts, maple syrup, orange. Straight fire 🔥

Nutty, carmaly, with dried plum and orange peel, delicious. Full bodied but pretty dry, great concentration if slightly hot.

Yasssss!

Three dessert courses - nice.🍨

👁 Clear tawny
👃🏻 Vanilla and smoke, soy sauce
👅 Juicy dried prunes, caramelised sugar, black pepper finish

Toasted caramel flavors with vibrant acidity. A perfect dessert accompaniment.

Eat your heart out, delectable. Look at what I'm drinking in this culinary wasteland of a city. @Allison Pryce would be so proud.
