All Saints is far from the darkest rare tokays, but don’t be fooled: this is an average of a whopping thirty-five years of age. Its aromas declare its maturity in allusions of a dusty old tractor shed, walnuts and raisins, balanced with youthful notes of cumquat and fig. There’s intensity and focus to the palate, with taut acidity driving long and linear, laced with bitter dark chocolate, and lingering with excellent line and length. Drink: 2013.

Outstanding quality and character. Fragrant tea leaf aromas, concentrated flavours of malt toffee and butterscotch from a 50-year-old-plus solera. Deep seated perfume of eastern spices, viscosity on another level.

Amber grading to near olive on the rim; a heady perfume of tea leaf, toffee and spice do justice to the intensity and drive of the palate, where malt and shortbread join the choir of the bouquet; the finish is (almost) never ending, but miraculously dries while its flavours are still with you, as much on your brain as your mouth. 375ml.

Outstanding quality and character. Extraordinarily deep with fragrant tea leaf aromas, concentrated flavours of malt toffee and butterscotch from a 50+yo solera. Deep seated perfume of eastern spices, viscosity on another level, of similar quality to very old wines from the island of Madeira.
