Brought this over to a dessert wine tasting and it held up well against some nice ports, especially when the chocolate fudge was brought out. Not to be drunk on its own as this really sings with sweets.

Not a very complex wine. But pair this with devils food cake, or anything containing dark chocolate and you got yourself an awesome combo. Would buy again just to have a few to pair with such desserts. Also my mother loved the combo with the desserts served. This bottle is mature, will not improve, drink now.

Drinking this without a dessert or a cigar is a crime. Love the tobacco (or was that the puro?) and raisin aromas with bold plum and cooked jam flavors. Almost drinks like a highly alcoholic red despite its traumatic upbringing.

Quite uninteresting sweet wine. Hard to say how this will develop with time
