Grande réussite. -

July 12, 2019 - Deep amber-copper in color.
Medium body, high ABV.
Candied apricots, toffee, caramel, donuts
Wonderfully syrupy sweetness. Tastes like the nose with a medium(+) finish. This wine is definitely at its peak. Probably has up to two years left, but why wait. Excellent bottle!
Smoked an Espinosa Laranja -
