April 8, 2016 - Tuscany BYO (Valby): How to commit to a wine like this. It is extremely dark, extremely intense, extremely sweet, extremely acidic.
Actually a great wine but so wild that it is almost insane to taste something like this.
Still in serious doubt if I really liked it? Crazy stuff... -

May 23, 2015 - Thick like motor oil, apricot and honey on the nose, quite sweet, but not cloying, enjoyed this very much!

November 17, 2013 - Dark, thick, and intense. Figs and raisin notes. Tar. Really heavy, but not particularly interesting compared to other bottles of this I've had. Front heavy. Enjoyable enough, but overall a disappointment.

Deep amber in colour. Nose of figs, candied fruit and burnt sugar. Very rich and full palate with a long smooth finish. Amazing stuff. Just what Mama would like. -

This type of wine is sooooo thick that you need to leave the glassed turned on the table for a little while to let all the "tears" go down... it is almost like Molasses...
A great experience!
