Yeah, the first release was a ripper, I bought heaps and still have some, the second release was made without any dosage and was essentially a fizzy dry red. Some people tried adding their own dosage of various sweet fortifieds, most just sent it back. Dan Murphy didn't change the description for the new batch ("blended together with some very old fortified "), but the Rose Kentish site confirms the zero dosage status.
So this is a steer clear situation then (on the current bottles for sale)?
