East India is an appealing deep tawny brown, and offers a complex, mature nose of burnt sugar, spices, raisins, chocolate, walnuts and orange peel. It is sweet and full-bodied, with a smooth, almost treacle-like consistency, but good balancing acidity. There is a faint ‘rancio’ character that adds complexity, and a fresh, everlasting finish.

96pts The Wine Advocate– N/V vintage

Readers looking for something weighty, sweet, and provocative should check out the non-vintage East India Solera. A blend of soleras averaging 15 to 50 years of age, it boasts a dark amber color as well as a huge nose of melted toffee, caramel, figs, and prunes. This over-the-top yet surprisingly vibrant (because of good acidity) effort is best drunk as dessert at the end of a meal.”

SILVER MEDAL : Decanter World Wine Awards 2015
Luscious raisin and date dominate, fig and sultana, cedar, walnut and chocolate complete the complexity of the palate. Concentrated, very full and viscous, even a tad heady. The Oloroso pedigree shows and is balanced by judicious sweetness.
