Nose is very carmelized and vanilla, with just a touch of greenness. Thick mouthfeel, but touched by obvious alcohol. If not for the alcohol, would be a great buy. certainly holds its own for bottle #5 of the night, though...
nose: brambly with a bit of sour mustiness. But bright and candied raspberries are nice. palate: simple and light. FInish is a maximum of 5 seconds. But it's a nice quaffer. I'd call it "Disappearing Raspberry Wine," smack it on a banner, and ask folks to pay $10 for it at the carnival. I don't think anyone would complain.

ummmm.. not worth the $. Smelled a bit stinky, (a sour funk) and honestly couldn't compete with the $10 Ercavio on the table. Pass.
