This is tasty stuff; flavorful, rich and warming. On the nose, I smell grape must and raw pastry dough. There is a deep weightiness, like the inside of a raisin box, followed by the sweetness of a fruit cocktail cup. On the palate, I get Ovaltine and dried fruit, vanilla pudding with some grappa spikes and dusty walnuts. The finish is medium/long. I have enjoyed this bottle but liked the first half better than the second. It didn’t evolve but he way I thought it might. Still a strong one and good value.
