aged a few years in wood and then bottled “late”

Aged at least 10 years in the wood,
the wine becomes an amber color
with subtle flavors of brown sugar and white raisins

a little spice on the finish

Sherry
Gonzales Byass, Amontillado
A medium dark sherry with a bitter-sweet nuttiness
This style is between a cream and a fino sherry

Osborne “Pedro Ximeinee” Cream
Golden brown, smooth, luscious and seductively sweet

Madeira
Sandeman Fine Rich
Exotic flavors of caramelized fruit and nuts-mellow and warm,
the longest lived of all wines

Vin de Liqueur
Chateau Doisy-Vedrine, Sauternes
Rich flavors of apricot, pineapple and vanilla
sweet on the palate but clean finish

Domaine de Coyeux, Muscat
Beaumes de Venise
Delicate flavors of honey and apples
