A lot of heat on the nose, which made me look at the bottle and realize that it shouldn't be surprising that it's 15.8% alcohol. What did surprise me was how strangely sweet the wine was; it was very port-like which makes me wonder if this bottle is past it's prime. Or whether or not I've been drinking way too much tonight. Or both.

Upon first sip, doesn't seem to be anything of note. But the finish...oh, that finish...I almost had to spit it out. Some time in the glass did not improve it. Received as a birthday present from a friend; now I wonder if she secretly hates me.

The first word that popped into my head was delish! A great value @ $18 and definitely something I could drink every night. Nice finish and paired well with some leftover BBQ chicken lettuce wraps
