Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 30, 2024 - Opened and had a taste. Used to make a wine sauce for poached figs.
Added spice (cloves, star anise and cinnamon stick) and sugar to boil down into a thick syrup. Served the poached figs with gorgonzola dolce and the wine sauce.
As to the wine:
Dark purple color.
Sweet fruit of prunes and dried cherries.
Saved some under vacuvin and tasted the following day.
The wine was overtly sweet and had taken on a funky barnyard note.

The wine syrup however tasted good.
Not sure where this bottle came form but is not generally a style I buy.

For making a sweet wine syrup, I rate this a 90.
For drinking, I would rate it 75.
