Community Tasting Note

jmathews Likes this wine:

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 - I bought this bottle as an experiment and I'm glad that I did though I'm sure I will not drink this type of wine regularly. The color is golden brown. It smells like raisins and prunes and burns my nose a bit when I breathe it in deeply. It's very thick not quite like syrup, but heavier than other desert wines and sticky! The flavors are sweet: heavy with raisin and prune. There a long finish that hints of oxidation and sherry and leaves a sweet layer in your mouth. The texture is off-putting to me and I'd like the flavors to be more complex, but as another tasting note suggested, over vanilla ice cream it's the best. I just tried it to make sure it was good to serve for guests and it's amazing.
