The fruit aromas range from blood to quince jelly, but there's also a slew of spices and notes of flowers and forest honey. Although it barely has 2% alcohol, it is much more vinous than that figure suggests. Titanic creme brulee character at the huge finish. Just 1,386 half-bottles were made. Should live longer than any of us! Drink or hold.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssencia is the world’s most concentrated essence of its ripest grapes.
