This fortified wine is made up of 100% Grillo grapes. This is one of those rare chances when I was able to try something that is out of my comfort zone. Marsala is something that I normally won't jump on but being that this was a 20 year old Solera I said what the hell. Aged in oak barrels for around 20 years while it is put through the Solera method.
Dark amber in color. Orange blossoms on the nose with a light cream or soft runny cheese to follow. On the palate there were some good toasty notes with lots of spices and nutmeg. Dry as the desert and would go great with a nice cigar. Impressive.
