What an interesting wine. We bought this at the winery while on vacation and it was just as good as I recalled. Color of a a light tawny port. Really interesting mix of aromas on the nose. You pick up a little bit of the yeasty dough from the champagne but then a distinct grappa note comes through along with some slightly oxidative tawny port notes. On the palate however this wine really impressed. Nutty, slightly sweet but with good acidity and a smooth yet palate warming mouthfeel, it is unlike any other wine I have had. A good tawny port is probably the closest comparison but the acidity in this wine makes it different. Glad I have another bottle and would love to see more Ratafia make it into the US.
