Deliriously delicious, decadent, stupendously flavorful, words can’t describe the impression this massive wine makes. It’s an explosion of blackberry pie, cherry marmalade, vanilla fudge and Oriental spice flavors, all carefully controlled in a dry, crisp, softly tannic package. All Loring’s wines possess superripeness, but this one somehow brings balance and sophistication. Wow.——S.H.(5/1/2006)—— 94
