  Lost in the cellar series. Used the double prong cork extractor, the cork was intact with a coating of tartrate. Amber yellow color. Initial whiff of cork rapidly dissipated. Still drinkable, with vanilla/oak notes, and canned pears in syrup. Coconut in the nose and finish. Not young, not bad.

  This was shockingly good. Bought it based on a friend's recommendation, but honestly did not hold out hope for it. Straight up butterscotch, toasted hazelnuts, marzipan, bruleed bananas, clotted cream, and just enough acidity to keep it balanced. Not sure it would get better, but I would be shocked if anyone was still holding on to this.

  Done. Nothing left but sweet juice with no bite at all

  lots of butterscotch on the nose when popped, this opened up to be very creamy and "drenched in caramel" it was very nice but didn't have enough acid to be great

  Same as last bottle, golden color, weak nose and seems to be fading quickly.
