As for this 2020 wine, it comes across with a bit less refinement than some of the brand’s previous expressions, with more aggressive sweetness up top, a bold mix of fresh cherry and plump raisin notes. As it develops on the palate, the sweetness never retreats, with a finish approaching prunes dipped in milk chocolate. It’s as jammy as Dow’s LBV gets, and while the fruity notes are on point, I found the overall body a bit too cloying even to work alongside dessert.
