Medium red. Exotic raspberry preserve, mocha and molasses aromas are brightened by vibrant minerals. The palate shows the sweetness of red berry liqueur but offers remarkable freshness and clarity, picking up an exotic orange peel quality on the long, sappy finish. This boasts amazing vibrancy for a late-harvest wine and makes most Banyuls, for example, seem oafish.

The 2004 Dolc de l’Obac is similarly styled to the 2003, but not as rich. Just off-dry, it might do well poured over vanilla ice cream. Nevertheless, it is difficult to justify the price of this first-class but not sublime dessert wine. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
