Lots of people will like this wine, but purists will object to the sugary, almost Porty sweetness. It’s undeniably rich and focused in cherries, blackberries, raspberries and vanilla-chocolate truffle, with a delicious edge of smoky, vanilla-accented oak. But it’s not a dry wine, more like something you’d sip at a cocktail party.
