Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2007 browse wines dried blood and bell pepperThe Wine While this is beautifully fresh, it has morphed into a very fine aged fortified. Woodsy, earthy tones with coffee and vanilla, blackberry essence and brandy esque flavours to the spirit. Lovely balance, clean with tannins adding a raw silk texture. A lot of emotion infused into this: a fitting tribute to Chris Killeen's skill as a fortified winemaker. 95 Points Jane Falkner, Halliday Wine Guide Published 17. 6. 2021 The Details Variety
