The taste of maple sugar in liquid form, without the fear of teeth-rotting sugar granules stuck between your teeth, or the sickening-sweetness that usually accompanies too much maple sugar. The wine passes through the mouth quickly with a short, yet luscious, finish. The smell might be a little off-putting to those who do not like port or sherry, as it does have those distinct qualities about it. In the mouth, the wine is thick and rich, while the finish is pure maple sugar; and it’s dentist friendly.
