Ten years of Bual: walnut, figs and crème caramel.
Tasting note
An intense nose of walnut, burnt orange peel, dried figs and dates, with crème caramel in the background. Powerful and full, with sweetness nicely balanced by acidity, making it extremely drinkable.
The story
A blend of several vintages, aged for at least 10 years in 650-litre oak casks using the canteiro system.
Food pairing
A lovely partner for fruit desserts, pastries, chocolate pudding and cheese.
