  Taking this magnum out of the bin to show friends, noticed signs of leakage. Upon inspection, the bottle was 1/2 empty and the cork was floating in the wine. No point on saving for a retirement party....
  Taking off the cracked wax capsule, about 500cc of wine decanted.
  Color- med tawny brown; nose of brown sugar, vanilla, sl nutty; sweet but very balanced light flavors of caramel, hazelnuts, dried currants. Profile like a old colheita but acidity making it light and crisp rather than cloying. Long smooth finish with almost fino sherry after taste. Amazing surprise after the disappointment of finding the bottle 1/2 empty with a fallen cork......
