No leakage. A ridiculously short cork (like 1 inch!) and no T-top. The wine looks clean... and it smells clean. Complex creme brulee, orange peel, maple syrup, and a touch of earthy nose. Overall very inviting rather than dank. This tawny is surprisingly fresh! High toned. Medium bodied. Delicious! A medium+ finish. This bottle has been in my cellar for a very long time. Much better than I expected! 93 points

These are still very nice, but they are starting to go flat compared to what they were when bottled. Half bottles faster than full bottles. For the best experience I wouldn't hold them too much longer if you have any more.

There were half bottles of this? I thought they were all 500 ml "sail" bottles like the one in David's picture?
Regardless, I agree that it's time to drink them up. They're not getting better with time in bottle.
