Mature nose, warmth, ripeness, candied fruit, just not overripe but there is a remote resemblance with Port. With a stunning 16% alcohol it’s a bit too... much for me. The wine doesn’t really come across unbalanced but the drinkability is limited. The finish is dominated by darkness and actually alcohol also, lacking freshness and complexity. At the same time it’s a bit of a memory lane experience so I’m pretty mild, and enjoying this non-standard wine.

Bricky color. Still lots of fruits both in mouth and nose. Some maturity. Long taste. You can feel the 16% alcohol but it is not disturbing. Nice wine for drinking now.

The black cherry kirsch and grape on the nose is followed by flavors of espresso and cherry. It's a rich, creamy, silky, full wine with a very short finish.

Animal nose but rather unpleasant hospital aromas/bandaid!!Maybe this is faulty but I cannot really detect any fruit. Late in the night!! Good maybe
