Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

This wine shows a pale amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow, transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of dried fig, raisin and date followed by aromas of candied fruit, peach jam, almond, honey, quince, lavender, walnut and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and smooth attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of dried fig, peach jam, raisin and honey. A well made wine. La Rabitta ferments and ages in barrique for 12 months followed by 4 months of aging in bottle.
