Great stuff. Appearance-wise it's the same general hue as Pepsi or coke sans CO2. Nose is burnt caramel, brown sugar, nuts, dried fruit, touch of smoke and maybe some meat? The palate confirms the nose and has enough acidity to remain a balanced experience even with a whopping 112g/L sugar content. This wine screams after dinner drink and should be a real kicker for Christmas due to all the dried fruit and nuts coming across as something to go with Christmas cake and definitely cheese.
