Wow - the vodka. This wine is fortified with vodka. You can smell it. You can certainly taste it. It's just too much vodka for me, and not enough wine. There's distinct fruit, in and around the vodka, with lemon and pear. There's some sugar in there. But still, an awful lot of vodka...

Light gold to clear. Pear syrup and grape on the nose mixed with a floral/violet scent. Strong, forceful – very nice. The wine is mildly rich but does not hold the promise or follow through that the nose suggests. A bit hot without the flavor depth to keep it in balance. Good, but that’s all. (12)

Hot and harsh. I don't really taste many stickies, but there really wasn't much to like about this.

Nose is a bit floral with traces of fruit. Palate is like rich pear juice. We had this with blueberry pie and ice cream. It was delightful.
