A private lunch (Restaurant Cordeillan-Bages **, Pauillac, France): Black. Immense depth, neither PX nor Moscatel, extremely spicy (cardamom?) viscous and full with very high acidity that keeps 400 grams/litre of residual sugar in check; amazing length of penicillin, grapes, spices and rosewater, smoky and impenetrable. Unique and amazing.
