This dessert wine is such a deep amber color, it is reminiscent of a gleaming copper pot. Aromas of resin, pine nut, roasted almond, maple syrup and butterscotch denote a Vin Santo that shows its years without seeming old. It’s thick and syrupy in the mouth with loads of honey-roasted nut flavors.——M.L.(5/1/2008)—— 88
