Pfeiffer World Class Fortified Masterclass

A toffee-amber hue with a shimmer of red; very fresh and plenty of complexity for a Classic. Toffee, malt flavours, sun-bleached hay and sultana cake, lemony freshness too. The spirit is warming, balanced and there's a silkiness across the palate. In tiptop shape and a standstill bargain. (95) JANE FAULKNER, Halliday Wine Companion

Medium mahogany hue. Raisins, cinnamon and burnt toffee aromas. Deep and intense dark gold fruits with Christmas cake spices and a rich dark toffee undertone. Flows very long with a weight and intensity that demands focus. STUART KNOX, The Real Review

Bracingly fresh, not to mention complex and so, so welcoming. Settle back and take in an elixir rich in dried fruits, prune, orange peel, sweet molasses and walnut. The palate is smoothly honed with toasted nuts and woody spices leading the way across a glossy, textural winescape, expertly aged and fortified, finishing dry. 500ml. (96) JENI PORT, Halliday Wine Companion

Light mahogany gold colour. Raisins and dried sweet spices on the nose. Richly textured with sweet Christmas cake notes as it flows long and lingering. Has appeal in its simple nature and it has a lovely harmony. STUART KNOX, The Real Review
