José Maria da Fonseca NV 20 years old Moscatel Roxo Moscatel (Setubal)
This remains a classic. The balance between ripe toffee and sweet caramel flavors and the intensity of its acidity is a wonderful source of tension and delight. The wine has intriguing flavors of lavender as well as a dark edge of tannin from wood aging. Roger Voss
