if blackberry preserves and black licorice were made into a wine, this would be it. while yarden's t2 dry blend of touriga nacional and tinta cao is a very good wine, this sweet port-style wine misses the mark. with a nose of blackberry preserves, cassis and rose petal—and flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice and clove—it should be gorgeous in the mouth. however, the overall sweetness is cloying without necessary balance.
