Vallado Port Tawny Reserva Quinta do Vallado Italien Bollinger's 2015 Brut Grand AnnéeRed brown in the glass. Aromas of dried fruit, almonds, nougat, caramel and orange marmalade with light notes of tobacco and violet blossom. Incredibly versatile and elegant, with a light, pleasant freshness. Coconut and a hint of bitter almond in the finish.
