Thick and sweet and a bit syrupy and porty. Lots of tannins. Too much for me. (JR)
Saturated bright ruby. Pungent, perfumed nose dominated by chocolate, espresso and mint. Superripe and thick but distinctly porty, with some greenness lurking beneath its wave of fruit. Impressively sweet and liqueur-like, conveying an impression of low acidity. I'd locate this in the "too much ain't enough" school. Finishes very rich, thick and long, but needs more verve. This X-treme wine might not make for civilized company at the dinner table. (Negociants USA, Napa CA
