This one was disgorged in 2011 (can tell by #s on the neck of the bottle and the fact that it was the thick neck bottle design that they used before switching to a skinnier neck in 2012).
Second bottle of this in about 2 months. Absolutely fantastic. The extra bottle age really does these well.
Will have to disagree with other notes. Had this twice now, and each time it has been an alcoholic mess. I have a hard time picking out much of anything over the 13% alcohol screaming in my face. Also, comes off a little oxidative (which is not surprising given its deep golden color). Finishes like a cheap vodka. Not my jam.

A rare miss for Bedrock. I definitely pick up the strange bubble gum note mentioned by previous tasters.
