Winery Review: 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: On the nose there was bold fruit. When I tasted it, it reminded me of a sharp cheese on the palate and a bit of a smokey finish which is probably the white pepper coming out. I enjoyed this one though not as much as the first in this week's tasting.
I did not try this with food.
