I found 2 of these at my local Trader Joes market for $15.00 each. I pick up both as I have never tried them and the price was cheap. Anyone tried these before?
Also, The employee said they should be getting some LBV's in this week from Quarles Harris too. He didn't have any more info yet on what LBV was coming. Does QH make a good LBV?

I just cracked this one open after lunch to try;
A golden center that fades to a pale orange at the rim. A nose of raisin, nuts, and just a hint of pepper(?). Flavors of carmel, cinnamon, and just a hint of raisin. It has an interesting finish, at first it feels a bit hollow on the back palate, then just jumps back up the throat into a pleasant medium length finish. Not too complex but overall a decent 10 year tawny. I prefer this one to the Otima 10 year tawny that I tried not to long ago. ***
