A super-delicious candy bar of a wine, with melted blackberry jam, milk chocolate and cassis liqueur flavors, sprinkled with black pepper and star anise. There’s a brown sugar quality, but the finish actually is dry. Great price for a wine held back long enough by the producer to begin to soften and mellow. Drink now–2018.
