Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 9:50 pm
Medium brown with slightly green edge. Orange peel and baking spices on nose, not entirely covering the alcohol. Orange marmalade as dominant flavor, with some molasses, a touch of spearmint and moderate depth. Excellent acidity. Moderate length. 16.5/20. My number 9 of 9 malvasias with dinner. Well-matched with pistachio crusted sea bass with mango champagne sauce. (1/13).
