  9/4/2017 - srh Likes this wine:

  N: Lemons with notes of minerals & a sense of oiliness?
  
  P: MF body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt adequately backed up by acidity; LONG, very, VERY slightly tangy finish. A *steal* @ the purchased (closeout?) $3.95! 13% ABV; [As of early Mar '19, wine-searcher still shows 1 U.S. vendor @ $21, though I'd have to wonder if, by now, this isn't VERY long in the tooth. :( ]

  Sat, 9/2/17, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Lemons, earth, poss SOME maderization? Undertones of earthiness?
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt nicely balanced by acidity which fairly seamlessly morphs into a amazingly LONG (for this price), at times almost butterscotchy (the age?), but ULTIMATELY clean, crisp finish. FANTASTIC QPR @ this vendor's $3.95 for drinking over the next 6 mos or so. [I'm thinking that originally this went for at LEAST 5-6 *times* this price!] [My score takes this QPR into account.] 13% ABV
