Morris Old Premium Rare Tawny 500mL
For all its fame with muscat and topaque, it would be easy to forget that Morris also does great things with tawny. At 25 years average age, this is one of Rutherglen’s top tawnies, and ridiculously underpriced at just $50 at WineStar. Its age builds profound persistence, rich viscosity and great depth of bitter hazelnuts and olives. You know you’re in for something of serious maturity when hints of antique sofa waft from the glass, yet it retains its composure in well balanced sweetness and taut acid presence.
