This 10-year-old malmsey is a superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings, and cheese. It is creamy, savory, and lush, with plenty of caramel notes alongside the baked pear, dried apricot, and fig flavors. It also offers a broad finish, with savory and dried citrus accents. It has been bottled ready for drinking (no need for decanting) and will keep for several months after opening.
