Pull-style cork under wax.

Savoured over a couple of days.
Spectacular drink - think "Port made with Baga" and you'll get the idea - smooth, rich, warm, elegant, stylish. Slightly sweeter than an LBV. Long finish. Slightly tasting towards brandy. We'll see what happens in a few years.

The producer recommends drinking this between 10°C and 12°C, which I did the first day. The second day I drank it at 18°C.
This isn't cheap (30 euros for a 500ml bottle), but, being something of a "Baga" fan, I had to give it a go.
Having had a bottle, I got 4 more.
