Quality
A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.
82/100Good
The official alcohol is only 14.6%, not all that high, but the wine has a hot, Porty mouthfeel. It also tastes of overripe raisins, and finishes with a burning, chili pepper quality.
Flavor profile
An estimate of the wine's structure: body (how full it feels), acidity (tartness), sweetness, and tannin (the drying grip in reds).
