Friday, December 26, 2008 - bot from PreCru. virtually no smell or taste other than some faint fruit and a bit of brown sugar. mostly alcohol on the palate and not much else. don't know the lot number.
2nd day - some cherry licquer and harsh alcohol, quite a bit of brown sugar on the palate and lots of hard edged alcohol. not my thing and I'm at an absolute loss as to what the ruckus is about this wine.
