July 30, 2023 - Half bottle, purchased way back in the day for $5.99.
Dark molasses color.
Some maderization, hints of walnut with citrus.
Sweet, forward acid, maderia-like, near gone but gracefully. -

February 14, 2023 - Bright and youthful color. Apricot and butter. Good palate feel and a bite at the finish. Great for Valentines dinner with our friends at CCF.
