  刚开瓶入杯，香气就像火山爆发一样，显露出夸耀的力量感和香味间卯合的精致感。桑葚干、桑葚酱、黑樱桃馅料、黑莓、黑葡萄干等黑果，蓝莓酱、蓝莓蛋糕等蓝果，浓缩庞大而充满爆发力的果味，和略带妖艳的紫花和精油一道，侵占鼻腔。萦绕其周的檀木、烟熏、雪茄、甘草粉、焦糖、红枣、龟苓膏，收尾还有点旧书间的粉尘味，多少深邃。入口势大力沉，集中度高。甜度高，丹宁细腻，细致的粉，如薄丝绸纱一般触碰口腔，和酸共同平衡了甜味。黑葡萄干、西梅干、桑葚干、很多黑樱桃干，还有数不清的黑蓝果脯果酱（还有蛋糕的感觉）以及花香，将压倒性的力量感、流畅感和妖异感结合在了一起。焦糖、红木、干花、烟熏乌木、雪茄、甘草粉、太妃糖、香荚兰、肉桂等香料粉将口中的华丽感渲染到了另一个境地，后段有一些淡淡的秋叶和旧书店的粉尘味，无穷无尽的，似乎是波德莱尔的诗。
  
  随着醒酒，香气一直在变，时而甘草西梅出，时而乌梅和酸梅汤显，时而是摩卡咖啡加一些可乐，而时中药粉末露其身姿。口感则一直保持顶峰，酸度渐高，各种味在整合中做着“减法”，浓郁度不减，整体趋圆润干净，黑果果酱和黑果干，咖啡太妃糖等占据主调，平静沉稳，力量脉动内蕴，居然有一点清溪流淌之感，一路深流。97+/100

  This is a dessert wine like no other. Aromas of fruit leathers and texture of a fruit smoothie. Sweet berry nectar which has an all natural intense sweetness but not cloying or overbearing (if you are expecting a dessert wine). We had this in a 375 and I could have drank the whole bottle myself from the bottle. Yum. No dessert needed.

  A real whopper on the first sip. Given the '05 bottling date, some may argue this wine has peaked, but the bottle I opened truly packed a punch. Dark, sweet, and smooth. Long finish makes it all the more memorable. A few more are tucked away for another round later this year, although I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold out!

  First bottle in 14 years. Deep caramel translucent hue. Like drinking liquid figs. Sweet, but not cloying with great balance and very long, delicious finish.

  Fat, sweet, dense, spicy and rich, just a dab will do you. The wine is incredibly sweet, as well as unctuous, the fruit has a high sugar level, almost too high for my taste. But if you have a sweet tooth, this could be for you.
