Raspberry and orange notes play off butterscotch and vanilla custard. There's and grassy earthiness to this and some slight woody note.
Palate is dark fruit, clove and cinnamon and lingers in the mouth for awhile. This drinks every bit of the 133 proof but it doesn't take away from the experience. Delicious, very fortunate an almost stranger invited me to their house for this and a bunch of other delicious pours.

Nose is herbaceous and full of wild raspberry and acai and fig.
Palate is full bodied, dark berries, a bit gamey and savory with a touch of vanilla on the back end. Acid is elevated and helps being everything together nicely.
This is really good and I have one more bottle I am stowing for a number of years. I'm a sucker for Bien Nacido. May need to find a few more in the meantime though....
15.7 abv is masked well. We had this post dinner, a Thai chili salad. Even ten minutes after eating, the wine came off very hot. Once the dinner finally left our taste buds, the burn dissipated.

Nose is clove, cocoa, cinnamon (like, Big Red), raspberries, black cherry.
Palate is vanilla, raspberry and black cherry and black plum.
Medium bodied, medium acid. Tannins are medium+/high-
Pretty straightforward wine.
