Unusual orange/red color. Spirity apple and strawberry. Full bodied, moderately sweet. Glycerine texture, a little heat. Hard to place it in the world of dessert wines, but interesting stuff that worked well with an unsweetened apple pie.

Watch out, this is 18% alc. I didn't realize. The great thing is you don't need to drink it all at once. Comes with a stopper. Probably should not let this sit around too long as I'm sure the cork seal is questionable. Reminds me of a fruitier tawny with significantly less age.

Unique dessert wine with strong raspberry and strawberry with a hint of royal gala apple and honey. Don’t taste the champagne at all. Paired very well with cantucci - dried almond biscotti. Prefer a late harvest Riesling or a vin santo.

Excellent sweet fortified wine. Light red in color. Very much like a Pineau des Charente. Aged for some time, drinking well now.
