Lustau East India Solera Sherry, NV

This bottle was opened during the Christmas season and has been resting since then in the cool cellar. Tonight it tastes even better than it did a month ago, probably because I have more time and energy to savor all it has to offer--which is a lot.

Medium deep garnet. Rich and creamy, as expected but so complex: dates, figs, nuts, maple sugar, toffee, coffee, dark chocolate, orange peel. Great acidity to cut through the sweeness and lead to a profound finish.
