Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Vin Doux Naturel is a sweet wine made by arresting the fermentation process by adding neutral grape spirit. Those from Rasteau contain at least 90% Grenache. A lovely little Vin Doux at a great price. Bursting with sweet strawberry and raspberry pie aromas which replay nicely on the palate. Unctuous and rich, with tangy acidity giving fine balance. Very tasty now, this will only become more intriguing with 5+ years of cellar time. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.
