I’m note sure what I just had...smelled a bit like Madeira. Tastes nothing like it. Dates & figs all day long. Lots of acid keep this from being cloying but make no mistake, it’s a sticky one. Awesome in small doses. Diabetic in large doses.

What a Friday group tasting put on by Dan! Killer wines. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert. All blind.

Think this is the oldest bottle I’ve had to date. My guess here was Madeira. The finish was incredibly maple-driven. Caramel, sticky-sweetness with some acidity still hanging around to provide structure. Great dessert wine!

Light body. Off dry. Raisin and stewed figs. Great complexity and lingering mouthfeel.

1983. Thank you so much, Matt for pouring this delicious wine to finish our meal! The caramel sweetness and acidity made it a perfect pairing with the dark chocolate mole truffle on the petit fours plate.

My wife: put raisins for kids in a ziplock for many days, and this.
