"Your eyes roll back in your head the very second you tilt the glass, as the 2016 Marsala d'Oro Superiore Vigna La Miccia offers up notes of roasted almonds mixed with grilled pineapple, baked apple, dusty dried ginger and a whiff of salty sea air. This is silky and pliant in feel, without a hard edge in sight, cooling the palate with sweet herbal notes while casting a wave of ripe plums, caramel and milk chocolate across the palate. Notes of rum-steeped raisins, hazelnuts and exotic spices linger incredibly long, yet somehow the mouth is left watering for another sip. This is so decadent yet wonderfully harmonious, and it’s truly a world-class dessert wine"
