August 24, 2018 - BYOB - FIFA World Cup, Finewines.se (Sollentuna, Sweden): What an amazing wine. So alive despite its age. No formal notes, I just sat back and enjoyed it with some cheese and chocolate cake.

March 30, 2009 - an absolutely unique wine experience for me, and a lot of fun to try. i've documented my struggle to quantify fortified wines, but this is certainly delicious.
