The bottle still has never been opened and still bears the seal across the top.
I was hoping to have this bottled dated. Can you help.

Thank you Rhonda.

Welcome to Verema Rhonda... That's quite difficult to find out.... Let me see if this cellar is still n the Sherry business.

Cheers!!!

Much thanks. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Rhonda

Mmm, sorry Rondha this cellar does not exists anymore so.... it would be really difficult to get any information.

I understand. I knew that it would be close to impossible, but was referred here as the site of the "experts". Do you believe the Sherry would be any good after all this time, or is it best just to save and cherish the bottle for what it was?

A cream in a mix of a dry and a sweet Sherry.... not intended to leave so long... However, at the end, alcohol is a preservative... so probably it depends on the preservation conditions (adequate temperature, high humidity, no vibrations, etc.) and on its alcohol degree..... Do you know the degree of alcohol??? Is it printed in the label?

Cheers

This bottle has been in the back of a liquor cabinet, virtually untouched its entire time there. My father brought out every so often when commenting on his travels. The labels reads: 20% Alcohol by Volume.
