taste: bold fuller feel with big tones of chocolate, black cherries, and a good amount of raisins. Some heat hits on the back end as well and there is a slight disjointedness to this
overall: This is good for the general price. I wouldn't say that its on the same level as a portugese tawny, but it is a solid wine

Napa Valley Vintners Association (Fleming's Steak House): nose: very rich with chocolate, black cherries, raisins and a fair amount of plum tones. A touch of heat and its not too big, but not massively deep either

sweet red syrup up front, missing raisiny character. A bit cloying, alcoholic finish ends with varnish notes

Chocolate, rich, not too much brandy. Nice finish. 192 proof used.
