| Brad - this particular bottle was completely pristine direct from Australia so it may not be representative of a typical bottle. It tasted like 10 year old wine and may have aged forever if we didn't drink it. It was a 1975 in honor of Pyang's bday. I had it at 93 points. | | | |

| Bob, Such a "male" answer. What's wrong with PYang's DAD holding off for two more months?   Never mind, I think I answered my own question. | | | Cheers, y'all | |
