Not as dense as previous Essence bottlings, like a dusty, slightly sweet zin with some interest as a cheese or sipping wine, but I suspect this will improve with age. Open nose, good concentration, medium finish, needs time.

Possibly drank too early. Classic sweet wine, had after dinner + wine when the missus hadn't drank enough. Complexity didn't seem to be there, or maybe my palate has changed. Lasted a few days.

Very nice wine. Never had a zin desert wine before. This is quite good. Sweet but not too sweet, rich taste of deep red fruits and plums with brown sugar. I will be a fan for life.

Decent. Have one left. Will let age a minimum of 5 years prior to revisiting.
