I forgot about this fruit bomb for 8 years, but it's still a fruit bomb. Slight smoke/pepper on the nose, with fruit not completely revealing itself until the sip, which punches you in the face with raspberry notes and lasts forever. Might smooth out even more if you have patience.

It was a little inelegant and hot today. Could have benefited from aeration, perhaps. Still a nice experience but can overwhelm at 16% ABV.

Pale red with slight yellowness too. Nose is vanilla and new oak. Starts with blueberry jam and finishes with red fruit and a fairly sophisticated peppery ending. Might pass for a white wine in blind test. Age is unlikely to be of benefit. Great to see something more light and not too gripping from a Paso producer -- but they should watch the sugar.
