Hanover Park Vin D'Orange

This is another fortified wine, but it is an amber/honey color. The aroma is of orange marmalade, with a bit of vanilla and a very Christmas-like aspect to it. This is the first time I used the word "wow" in my notebook. It's rich and nectar-like, as a cordial would be. It's almost oily in texture. It made me instantly imagine myself sipping it after a sumptuous holiday meal; it has a candied citrus peel overtone that is very pleasing. We got a bottle to put away for Thanksgiving or Christmas ($25.00/375ml).
