  This was a rich, sophisticated dessert wine with significant sweetness and 18% alcohol content. The style falls somewhere between a Port and a PX. Figs and molasses on the nose; the same comes through on the palate, with added notes of raisins, orange rind, and subtle spicy notes. There is little to no detectable oxidation, probably because it was bottled less than a decade ago -- it's remarkably fresh. Opened in memory of my father-in-law, born 1930; he was able to enjoy a bottle of this before he passed away.

  Great stuff, wonderful dark taste, lot's of warm oak tanins, still quite hot. Shared at the 3/15/2008 French Night. Definately want some more of this stuff.
