Region: Setúbal
Country: Portugal
Superior is a suffix guaranteeing the quality for this Moscatel from Setúbal (like Reserva on table wines).
This 10 year old certainly deserves it, as it is a delightful and powerful Moscatel.
Sweet aromas, a bit of candles, english cake, exotic woods and dry figs compose an intense, powerful but elegant bouquet.
Shows its sweetness in the palate, but it's never excessive. There's a good acidity here, giving it some backbone and supporting the figs and the raisins that appear here. There appear to be some tannins lurking around as well - at least it feels like it i the gums.
Really long finish, very persistent with notes of crystalized orange skins. Still very young, this will age and last for years.
