Happened to see this one today, good of its kind:

2009 Bitch Grenache Aragon

($12) Opaque ruby. Super-ripe plum and dark berry aromas show a slightly stewed quality. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering syrupy blueberry and plum flavors and a touch of bitter licorice. Finishes slightly greasy and sweet, with a vague burning sensation. This jammy wine would be a great one to crack open after everybody was too hammered to notice its confectionery character, or for friends whose booze preferences run toward Frozen Mudslides and double B-52s. Rumor has it that some people are into this style.

I thought "slightly greasy" and "vague burning sensation" covered that.

In the style.

Not to mention "broad and fleshy." I get shivers just reading that stuff.
