| Actually, check with MudPuppy (send him a PM). If he does not have it, check with Wine Library & Carolina Wine Company. All 3 ship to most states. But, I think that MudPuppy has it. | | | |

| Try contacting Philip Chen, of Echelon Wines - jbl868@hotmail.com. I picked up a half dozen from him a couple months back for $45 per, he may have some left. We just had this for the first time on Friday, and it is everything I've read about it, just wonderful stuff. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| We had some of this last night with vanilla ice cream. Simply outstanding. I understand it is also killer with pecan pie. | | | |

| NCVL... sorry for being so stupid in my earlier posts. I saw Buller NV and I was thinking 'fine' rather than 'rare'.  I'm glad MudPuppy was able to help you. He helped me with these earlier this year. | | | |

| I think this is my first time posting on this thread, although I've had the wine a few times before:
Killer wine. I'm not certain it is worth the perfect score Parker gave it. However, I have never rated it lower than 94 -- which is the equivelant of a Parker 96. Usually, I rate this at about 94.5 or 95 -- the equivelant of a Parker 97 or 98.

| I have 3 of these beauties for special occasion(s). Safe to assume that I can cellar these for a long time to come. Yes?
Thanks! | | | |

| Yes. These are fortified wines on a base of 50 y-o material. These should last a decade if untouched by human hands...but they won't  | | | |

No, I don't think they'll last a decade in our house

| Opened one last night. Man is this a special wine, which does deserve it's elaborate package. A skinny long bottle that holds nectar, this remains in my top 3 Oz stickies of all time. imo blows away the Fine Muscat which is an excellent wine. Color- mahogany Aroma-alcohol which blows off followed by prunes and molasses. Flavor- deep intense and complex with marinated raisin, prunes, toffee, and dark caramel. Still a lovely sipper for desert. Nice smooth and warm coffee finish. 96-98 pts | | | |

| AT a 1/4 of the price, the Premium Fine Muscat is a phenomenal deal, give it a shot!! | | | |

| I have and agree with you, it is a great deal, but the difference to my palate is substantial, from excellent to outstanding. | | | |
