Mr Whirly says`;
” Another aged gem from Robert Fiumara. This wine has been cellared for about 18 years! But don’t worry, that’s a great benefit to this wine. A blend of fortified grapes from 1998 which are Cabernet and Chambourcin.”
My notes from 2015 that I wrote are:
“ The 1995 vintage of this wine created quite a storm in the UK and this 1998 vintage, made from Chambourcin and Cabernet ( not Shiraz as in the 1995) is a little softer and rounder than the previous vintage, still with a rich caramel intensity but also with some Mocha coffee and dark Chocolate. Match this with Chocolate puddings, Plum pudding at Christmas and Rich Blue Cheese. I tasted this wine again a few days ago with Jason Atherton’s sommelier at his new restaurant that opens in April 2011 and its really come on well. Incredibly complex and layered now.”
