Chocolate, along w/ strawberry jam on a slightly stale nose. Rich, buttery -- finishes quick but solid.

Smooth, but not a very lovely nose, I only pull oak out of it. A bit harsh ... really there's not much to enjoy about this whiskey except it's price and well .... it is 80 proof.

A barely discernible nose with a hint of anise and cloves. Round, yet unintelligible on the palate -- jammy and one-dimensional. A good food wine with enough balance to overcome flabby traders 4.99 swill. Serve w/ a pizza or burgers ... this

I decanted this wine for 1.5 hours before drinking. The nose showed nicely with a hint of choclate and mint, and ripe fruits. The mouthfeel is clean, but thin. A bit tart as well, but does come through w/ some nice chalkiness at the end. Not an overbearing monster (unlike most syrah these days), nice for the money.

Some tropical notes of pineapple coupled with some detergent. Maybe I should wash my glasses more often, or maybe I should stop by Delicato Pinot Grigio. Reprehensibly soft on the palate, no acidic bite and just s-o-f-t. Makes me want to find a pillow and go to sleep, it's just not happening. Delicato has done well with *red* bulk wines, but unfortunately, their Pinot Grigio doesn't make the cut.
P.S. The finish sucks

Some cloves/cinnamon and ripe berry on the nose. Smooth, viscous mouthfeel - pleasant. Not a bad finish. Tannic/dry, but some stems seeds lend harsh/bitter notes as well. Let it breathe for 2 hours before consuming.
