Vin Santo "Occhio di Pernice" 1996

96/100

"Looks like molasses coming out of the bottle. Dark brown amber in color, with aromas of Christmas cake, treacle tart and date. This is so thick. Full, viscous and supersweet. Is it really wine or syrup? You couldn't possibly drink a glass of this, but it's amazing. Nothing like it in the world. Made from Prugnolo Gentile, the local Sangiovese. Drink now."
