Maury Solera 1928 Cask 862 50cl

Made by Gerard Gauby, who personally selects each cask, this is a solera style blend of fortified wine drawn from a barrel filled first in 1928 and topped up ever since (after drawing wine from the base first!) from the wines of a selected vintage.  The wine maintains a fine balance, combining caramelised notes followed by some chocolatey flavours on the finish.  An excellent alternative to port, and slightly lighter in alcohol (17% vol).
