Shop Review: Since the wine weighs in at %14, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It's full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet spicy.
My Review: It smelled like honey but also a bit like pineapple or pear. When I tasted it, I was disappointed about the taste. Since it is higher in concentration of alcohol, it tasted a bit like gasoline and was spicy. I would not drink this wine again.
I did not pair this with food and probably won't try doing so anyways.
