nothing like it, thick with molasses and maple syrup scents, excellent structure so it will last. Just a small serving in a large glass. Excellent. One of the great wines of the world and well worth visiting the winery to see how this is made

tried this last night again. same bottle as last time which has been in the fridge for 1 week. i have to say that it felt much smoother. still very thick and brown with that sweetness, caramel and toffee like. but it felt better put together, less harsh and sweet. i enjoyed it a lot more. perhaps it needed some air to shed some of its concentration and make it rounder.

amazing color, more like brown than anything else. but way too thick and too sweet in my view. nose of prunes and apricots for me, both mature. some thought it was balsamic vinegar?! still not enough acidity. in my view too aged. sure, you can have that with parmesan and it will probably work. but i prefer the younger vintages that have less viscosity and more acidity... and a more compelling color!

A monster, thick as motor oil and tasting of toffee and brown sugar. Not quite the 100 pt 1990, but spectacular nonetheless.

Difficulty taking notes at this point, but it was incredibly thick and unctuous, almost the consistency of castor oil.
