March 1, 2016 - This remains the best bargain ever. I have now managed to polish off a few cases and I wish I had more. Thanks Balbas for years of enjoyment!

June 16, 2015 - Cherry nose with vanilla, tar and butterscotch notes. Good fruit, freshness and complexity to finish. Good for more years to come as it still doesn't show its age.
