Really great nose of dried cherries and sweet dark fruits. Great mouthfeel. The sweetness from residual sugar others have mentioned. Great fruit - medium finish. Was really surprised it is still drinking this well. This was a nice surprise for a Monday.

It was sweet, but not too sweet, as that cut the heat well with the cayenne and black pepper grilled ahi we drank it with

Crazy sweet and rich. Somewhat passable as an after dinner drink but not a wine to drink with dinner.

Stewed fruits and bramble. Still rich, luscious, and enjoyable.
