Chocolate Lab (no date)
Varietal: Chambourcin
Virginia, USA
31.00 USD
One of our most popular, the Chocolate Lab is a totally unique port-style Chambourcin infused with essences drawn from cocoa beans added to the wine during secondary fermentation. Lush vanilla and chocolate that finishes perfectly and is not too sweet. Aged in recovered whiskey barrels with 5% residual sugar. (Barrel Oak Winery)
This was a delicious dessert wine. It was rich and fully bodied on the nose while not being overly alcoholic on the nose. There were hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso and cherry on the nose as well. It was rich and delightfully sweet on the front end and mellowed out a bit to a nice dark chocolate kick on the finish. There was not a whole lot of heat to it but what little there was was actually very pleasant in my opinion.
