WTN: Ipsus Pantelleria Passito '10...(short/boring)

Tried this last night:
1. Ipsus DessertWine DOC: Pantelleria Passito (15%; www.Daquino.com; Moscato grapes) 2010: Deep golden/slight browning/burnished bronze color; very intense orangy/Muscat/cheap hair oil/Vitalis slight earthy complex beautiful nose; quite sweet intense Muscatty/orangy/Vitalis slight earthy slight oxidized/raisened flavor; very long intense sweet orangy/Vitalis/muscatty soft slight raisened finish; a terrific dessert Muscat at a stupid price. $10.00/500 ml (TJ)

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This Ipsus showed up on the shelf (previous vintage) at our local TraderJoe's several yrs ago and I bought up most of the case. So when this new vintage reappeared, I had to try it. It's a steal...I'm going back for more. A classic Passito w/ just enough raisened funkiness to make it interesting.

Vitalis, Tom? Gee, that's an aroma I haven't smelled since the 70s. I'm really not sure I would even be able to differentiate it from other hair products. This is the first time I've seen it used as a descriptor. Thanks for the chuckle. I'll need to find some now and take a big whiff, to get it straight in my mind.

My Dad, being the pinch-penny he was, took me to the cheapest barber he could find...Swope's. The guy used to buy
Vitalis in a 55 gal drum & I remember the smell soooo well when ole man Swope slathered it on my hair.
'Course.....that was when I had hair to slather it on!!! :-)

I have to admit the Vitalis line sent me into immediate olfactory remember mode. If I had any hair left I'd go get a hair cut right now.
