Is Banyuls Extra Vieux Doux Naturel a good wine?
Tasting profile
A complex, expressive fortified wine that shifts between sherry- and port-like character, with notes of dried fruits, orange, walnut, prune juice, coffee and a touch of smoke. The sugars are well integrated, the finish is remarkably long, and it pairs beautifully with foie gras or chocolate at the end of a meal.

Summary
L'Étoile Banyuls Extra Vieux Doux Naturel is a French fortified wine from Banyuls.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 204 other fortified wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole. Only 38 of its Vivino reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 40 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
