1999 Salvatore Murana Passito

The 1999 Martingana is one of Italys major dessert wines, a gleaming amber in color with an exceptionally rich nose of dates, fig jam, and raisins, almost explosively warm, and a superior richness and viscosity, a luscious, almost decadent sweetness which is kept in check by the acidity and the elegance and focus of the flavors.
