Pecked at over a few nights. Flavor profile falls somewhere between caramel - maple syrup - butterscotch. Not nearly as enjoyable as I recall from several years past. Looks to be the last of my Garagiste purchases... good riddance, then!

Drank over several days. Lasted well. A fair amount of sediment. Great tasting.

Oxidized caramelized fruit with chocolate and heat notes from the alcohol. Finished long but maybe a bit to hot and oxidized at this point.

No detailed note, a lovely tawny port with notes of maple syrup and good acid balance.
