The 2002 Vin Santo di Montepulciano Occhio di Pernice (100 milliliters) is divine and delicious on all conceivable levels. The bouquet offers dried fruit, dark tar, honey, toasted chestnut and maple syrup in seamless succession. The mouthfeel is so thick and dense, you'd almost wonder if you could get a spoon to stand up straight in the glass. The finish is endlessly sweet and succulent.
