Saturday, September 14, 2013 - Tawny, amber appearance, with a green and copper sheen. Dynamite nose of dried figs, dates, molasses, maple syrup, amaretto, and fish sauce. This is super viscous, unctuous, nutty, and raisiny sweet, flaunting a caramelized, brown sugar middle, and an uber-long finish. The only knock is that it lacked acidity, making it come across as flabby, bordering on cloying, and thus negatively affecting the overall score. Perhaps it was the bottle. Still a beautiful wine.
