Notes
-----
This is interesting...not like most of the dessert wines
I've tasted. The color surprised me; I was expecting golden,
but it was more of a dark, pure amber. The scent wasn't very
strong, but distinctive, with a smell of brandied peaches.
The mouth-feel is a bit syrupy, not unpleasant, but with a
glycerin after-feel. The flavor is rich and sweet, with a
strong dried-fruit component. It reminds me of raisins.
There is a strong, distinct sting of alcohol, like you get
with brandy, that rather overpowers the flavors. (Whew!
18.5% alcohol...no wonder.) I would say that this is a
perfectly decent dessert wine, but not among the best. The
makers claim that the wine will keep for months, if corked,
which would give it an advantage for one-glass-a-day
sippers.
