For a vintage-style fortified, this wine's color is appropriately intense and dark, but the tannins are somewhat tame. Hints of mint and chocolate pop up, adding modest complexity, but the bold cassis and plum fruit is framed instead by its crisp acids, suggesting a rather early drinking window, perhaps 2013–2020 or so.
