A sample sent to me by Eric D. The taste is overwhelmingly of Gales runny honey, with lots of flowers. A meadow in spring, sprung to mind. Very lovely. Thank you Eric.

Martinelli’s doesn’t make 2 fld oz product, so I’m guessing that only the lid has been changed.

If the lid fits, use it! That's funny, I didn't even notice the lids got switched!

Rocha 1983 Colheita: (bottled 2005) Nice amber color, with almonds, vanilla and cloves on the nose, along with the aroma of fresh baked bread. Fairly light mouth feel, but very, very sweet on the palate, with candied citron on the finish. Very nice.

I realised later that it might have been me that switched the lids. I might have removed the ‘real’ and put it down next to the apple lid, and then washed the apple lid.
