Beautiful amber color in the glass. Some flowery aromatics. Orange blossom, honey flavors. Maybe a touch too syrupy for my tast in a dessert wine. Could use acid bite.

I seem to have a completely different wine. The cork disintegrated upon opening (not unexpected). The wine has a beautiful, but very dark color (for a Violetta). The initial nose was oil/kerosene, but that gave away very quickly to toffee, caramelized pineapple, and cinnamon-y goodness. The body is mid-weight, not a low viscosity oil mouth coating affair, nor is it too thin. It has a very delicious mid-weight body. The acid is still high and balances the wonderful sweetness very, very nicely. I would definitely buy more if I came across it. Too bad I didn't save it for a dinner with friends...

Heavily oxidized and not very tasty.

Wonderful dessert wine. Sweet, strong fruit character. Acid is in good balance so this is an easy wine to drink. Sugar is not overpowering.

Slightly metallic not rich and just barely sweet. Color is nice and rich but that's it
