"The 2006 Fortification sports a medium tawny color and rip-roaring nose of baked black cherries, dried mulberries, hoisin, blackcurrant cordial and fig paste with hints of star anise, chocolate box, sandalwood and new leather. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a gorgeous velvety texture, the flavors are superbly and seamlessly interwoven into the sweetness without the least bit of heaviness, and it finishes with epically long-lingering spicy layers."
