| WA 96 (12/2018): I tasted bottle number 1,797. The 1989 Marsala Superiore Riserva Semisecco Aegusa has aged in oak casks for 14 years. A little certificate of authenticity is packaged with each 750-milliliter bottle. This is an Ambra-style Marsala Superiore that pours from the bottle with dark copper intensity. The name Aegusa refers to the best Marsala wines made by Vincenzo Florio. This is a powerful, full-bodied fortified wine (made with 100% Grillo) with 19% alcohol. It offers enormous intensity with a bouquet that is heavily endowed with maple syrup, toasted chestnut, brown sugar, caramel, dried fig, porcino mushroom and spicy tobacco. You feel that high alcohol in the mouth, but that heat is beautifully absorbed by the fleshy intensity and richness of the mouthfeel. This wine is almost 30 years old, but thanks to all that ageless fruit, it hides its age very well. I previously reviewed the 1994 vintage, but other great editions include 1974, 1964, 1952 and 1941. |
