Tasting Notes and Australia and Rutherglen and Variety and Fortified
Confusingly, Morris seem to use their own nomenclature on their labels. This is falls under the Grand classification in the Rutherglen hierarchy, and as previously advised, I do believe it’s where the action starts when drinking Rutherglen fortifieds.
Complex and layered with walnut, coffee, toffee, Old Jamaica chocolate, spice and old woody rancio characters with just enough VA to lift rather than interfere. On the palate rich, thick and intense with acidity that cuts and freshens the complex flavours of nuts, peel, chocolate, Kopiko coffee candy, spice, toffee and delicious savoury rancio characters. Enormous length of flavour with a long sweet spicy finish that encourages the next exploratory sip. A top wine and a bargain for sure.

Is this the cellar door only version?

Grand Rutherglen may be where the action starts in relation to Rutherglen fortifieds. The lower catagories are still well ahead of almost all other Aus sticky pretenders.

I think it may be CD only.
