Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.
My Review: The nose was fresh and reminded me of pineapple and melon. It was very bitter on the tongue for me and tasted like melon. I wouldn't have this wine again.
With Food: No
