This is a big, sweet wine. It will likely be love it or hate it for most people. For my tastes, it is good but a little goes a long way. Inky purple in color. The nose is blackberry pie with some cherries, cedar, and chocolate. On the palate, this is full bodied. Sweet with blackberry pie, cherry pie, some dark chocolate and just a bit of spice. This lists 16.5% ABV on the label and though it tastes it, and feels it texturaly (is that a word?), there isn't any heat. Long, sweet finish. So, basically, this should be consumed as though one was drinking port. It will overpower most foods although BBQ is possible. It should last a long time as the sugar, fruit and tannins are all in ample supply. If you don't like it young though, you won't like it old (and vice versa).
