Lovely aromatics here with dried figs, raisins, and prunes coming from the high percentage of Grenache. These are bolstered by toffee, butterscotch, caramel, cloves and cinnamon. Sweet and rich with plenty of warming neutral spirit, there are flavours of chocolate, fruitcake, dried orange peel and walnuts,
Being a 'forty' this is good to drink immediately, It'll definitely hold in the bottle for a couple of years but once you've popped the cork we recommend drinking it within a month. It won't go off in a hurry but will become less fresh the longer it is opened.
I love making this stew when in the depths of winter we have the slow combustion fire going.
I love a good crème caramel and this version infused with orange, cardamom and cointreau is stunning, taking a simple dessert to a Class A level of wow factor. It’s neither particularly difficult nor expensive to throw together and more often than not, all the ingredients are ready and close to hand for a just-in-time dessert option. To up the ante on the wow factor, my serving suggestions include presenting it with thick farm cream, crème fraiche or Greek style yoghurt coupled with a smattering of either raspberries or blueberries.
The accompanying bevvy: Seppeltsfield’s Para DP90 Rare Tawny with its seductive plump, sticky mouthfeel and warm spice, honey and walnut notes is my choice for a blissful union.
