Oh yeahhh....
Perhaps just the right time and place but this is great.

The label has both 12.5 and 13.5% alc. stated (how did that slip through TTB?) but I don't care..tonight I'm yours!

15 vintages in one bottle. Sick, sick wine.

What ARE you?! Made from vintages spanning over a decade and perfectly balanced tension of sweetness, acidity, and structure. White button mushrooms somehow turn into lemon and citrus and then back again. Only wish I had a case of it to keep trying to figure out what is happening here.
