$ 16.00 Stunning stuff! This has a deep, dark raspberry liquor nose, with racy red fruit, a rich mouth-feel that is very pleasant, and a long, fruit filled finish that lasts for 30+ seconds. Rumor has it that the winemaker for Vieux Telegraph makes this, with Kermit Lynch himself having a hand in this. Great stuff!
