Fantastic bottle. Raw tartness and power structured by the unique geometry of oxidative winemaking. Sweet dried fruit nose with grilled walnuts, and the body is sherry-like, but with a vibrant bite that transcends all but the very best sweet sherry. Mushroom, rum, caramel, and berry liquor. So good.

I can appreciate these wines but I still do not have the palate for some. Notes of Saline, rubber cement and maple syrup on the nose. The palate I was getting caramel popcorn, pecan and Saline.

Dainty, if thats possible, paired @Ruffian wine bar w desert. Definitely more of a foil for desert than a journey into the wine. Has a nice spine of some acidity which i didnt expect

Lord Stanley served this chilled and it was delicious. Not to sweet and soft acidity and more sherry notes than I'm used to.

This is a fantastic issue by Rare Wine & Co and is very representative of its style. Just please give it many more years, 7 to 10 I would say. Cool stuff and decently priced.
