i enjoyed the 1970, 1960 & a tie for 3rd place with the 1977/1963. everything after 1980 just didn't do it for me so i guess i'm not very good at judging future potential.

plum-y blackberries and figs with trace amounts of cherries and milk chocolate.

knowing the owner, storage was bad.

this bottle was not impressive.

TBird

wednesdays suck but i'll eye it and see if i can make it out.

TBird

carmel, almonds, figs/dates, cherries & orange peel. blind noone could have convinced me this was not a tawny. a very good tawny.

TBird

i was just eyeing these at $31.99(marked down from $39.99). i checked wine-searcher and that seems to be about the lowest price available. worthy?

TBird

in the decanter but snuck a quick look.

consistant impressions but also have a feeling it won't "last" like this until it's planned consumption this evening.

i have 2 growlers from bierkraft. usually filled with any form of delicious products from both captain lawrence and sixpoints. since you know the hood, hit the dram shop on 9th street(beside ctown) between 5th & 6th ave. they have both "liquid gold" and "sweet action" on tap ...

TBird

i have the time available but am unfortunately still unemployeed and broke-ish.

how can i arrange this to happen for myself yet spend as little as possible?

sorry to be a cheapass.

the only 77 i have is a smith woodhouse but it looks like that's already on the table...

TBird

it's like a sweet almond and brown sugar reduction, throw in some hazlenuts & figs and toasty caramel/toffee, done.
another under $10 experiment to see if i even care for these things.
so far, 100% yes!
