Appraisal:

I am absolutely not dissapointed with this wine. Love at first sniff, then I tasted it ... WOW!!! I am so glad that I bought this one. Worth every last Euro-cent. This is almost a dessert wine. Would go well with chocolate, dancing, and swiming in the pool naked. I was a little worried when I pulled the cork and it was a little fragile on the wet end and smelled a little funny.  After airing the cork is fine.




Really a wine fit for kings!
