"The 2009 Fortification is medium garnet in color with a hint of tawny at the rim, delivering an earthier/meatier expression of this wine with notes of chargrill, truffles, scorched earth and underbrush over a core of plum preserves, spice cake, figs and baked black cherries plus a touch of dried lavender. Thick, rich and spicy in the mouth, the palate is beautifully poised with tons of harmonious layers and a velvety texture, finishing very long with loads of savory nuances complementing the sweet spiciness."
