Aroma of dark fruits, sherry, floral notes and honey. Taste is still quite sweet with caramel, honey and marmalade. Syrupy mouthfeel with a really sweet finish. Surprised that it is this big, with so much residual sugar and still carbonated. Not sure that it is really as big as it claims to be. smith4498 (919), Miami, Florida, USA
