August 18, 2019 - This wine was medium ruby with a garnet rim. The smell resembled Taylor Fladgate 10-year tawny port, with aromas of cough syrup and raspberry. The wine was bold thanks to the high sugar content, with low tannins, medium(-) acidity, and medium alcohol. The wine was sweet. Tastes included maraschino cherry and molasses—like the inside of a chocolate-covered cherry. It had a fairly long finish.
I doubt I would buy this again, but it was certainly interesting. -

May 24, 2018 - I hate sweet wines. But as sweet wines go, this isn’t bad, surprisingly, given its name. Enough body, depth and character to make it interesting. Paired w raspberries, lemongrass and turmeric ice cream.

October 5, 2017 - This had a bunch of positive reviews but didn't pan out for us. Tasted like cheap Lambrusco, without bubbles. Sweet and thin, some cough syrup flavors.
