Sweeter and fatter than the basic bottling, with notes of herbs and licorice, but offers less definition and verve, despite possessing rather strong acidity. Finishes with dusty, drying tannins. A rather awkward combination of roasted flavors and ungiving texture. (Stick to this producer's excellent regular bottling. ) (Winebow, Inc. , Hohokus, NY)
