  brought this to semolina restaurant. shared with pat. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. i had overlooked this bottle since we don't drink dessert wine often and feedback from others was ambiguous. unfortunately, we were unhappy with the menu, the service and the attitude of the waitress so the atmosphere was not pleasant. also, marty was unhappy with some of the other wine i had brought. he was losing patience and wanted to leave. the cork was difficult to extract. had to strain the wine to remove particles. i had a few rushed sips before hastily leaving the restaurant as they let us know that they needed the table. the wine was initially slightly oxidized but this blew off quickly revealing lovely chocolate notes. sediment adheres to the side of the bottle. marty declined his share as he stated that he does not enjoy sweet wine. brought the bottle home and enjoyed the remainder the following night. will attend to remaining bottle soon.

  This is crazy sweet gooey, toffee and raisin nectar. Did I mention the sugar? Wonderful if you like the genre.

  Honey, dates, spice; long smooth finish. This was a big hit with the dinner party. Great value.

  The wine looks caramel colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisin, walnut and butterscotch. It tastes like raisin and butterscotch. The body is full. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  Open thirty minutes and the nose is offering something that hints a fresh can of latex paint that is made with sorghum syrup. Just weird enough to be totally engaging.
  
  45 mins in it's getting thinner, the mouth feel thinning a bit, the finish lengthening and there is some type of citrus, maybe Meyer lemon, yes, that's it. And add chocolate syrup.
  
  An hour after opening, add blackberry juice and mango, and black tea.
  
  Hour and a half, add pomegranate.
