  Very special treat especially knowing that only 1733 bottles of this vintage were produced. Viscous, dense and complex wine, fully integrated. Figs, caramel, raisins. Wonderful experience.

  Well balanced, thick, almost syrup. Complex, evolving on the palate. Fig, apricot, with more orange peel on the finish. Great stuff

  Super viscous and sweet. Caramel and fig sauce. Raisin. Intense, and with impressive weight and size, but without quite the lift or balance of other vintages I've had.

  Very sweet - even moreso than other vintages of this I remember. Viscous and thick. All rancio notes and super figgy. Intense. Lacking a bit in terms of balance. Impressive, but not totally in-sync. Enjoyable.
