92 ST. "Deep ruby-red. Superripe, port-like aromas of hazelnut and raisin. Very sweet and rich on the palate, with enough acidity to give it good balance. A floral note adds flavor interest. Strong in alcohol yet harmonious, and accessible right now. Almost a dessert-style Amarone-or serve it with the cheese course. Finishes very long, with fine tannins."
