A beautifully mature Marsala from one of Sicily’s historic producers, the 1998 “Old John” Riserva Ambra shows the depth and complexity only extended aging can deliver. Aromas of toasted nuts, dried fig, caramel, orange peel, and spice lead into a rich, silky palate with layers of toffee, dates, roasted almonds, and subtle salinity. Semisecco in style, it strikes a compelling balance between gentle sweetness and savory structure, finishing long and warming. A superb match for aged cheeses, nuts, or contemplative sipping on its own.
