DeVines downtown carried this 2000 LBV about 3 yrs ago. Just opened my second bottle, decanted and shows initial promise. Colour is a tad light, has firm tannins and good black fruits. Hint of chocolate on the finish, will improve through the evening.
Bob/pm/Dec 31st.

Al B. - I had a half of the Cockburn's 1955 in 2012 w/ Glenn. It was fantastic and I wish I had more in that format!

Well Miguel--yes and no. Got them in PA--they're a special sale and you have to go in person. I got the 20 in central PA ( sent my cousin who lives in that area)--nothing really closer in the eastern portion. The store I got them from has one left. PA is very difficult to do business with--but they do get some good deals.

Good job! That one is noticeably missing from my cellar, and I've looked a bit.
