19% alcohol
Handsome amber color.
Sweet dried apricots and prunes color both the nose and flavors. Slight vanilla toffee note and possibly a smidgeon of maple sugar coexisting with the dried fruits. Quite rich and luscious.

Claims to be Australia's benchmark Tawny Port and I would not quarrel with that statement. Back label mentions depth of rancio complexity and subtle oak flavors.
