To be opened coming Sunday (for my and my dad's Fathersday :wink: ): Niepoort 1997.
It'll be the first time I'll be opening such a youngster, but while opening my 6 botle case yesterday (in order to make some more room in my cellar, as bottles take up much less space than when still in the OWC), I found that one of the bottles was/is showing signs of seepage (and rather a lot of it :( ). So I'm hoping it will still give enjoyment coming Sunday [beg.gif] !
