This is, by far, the finest vinegar I have tasted in years. It was a gift to me from a friend. I think that one should sample a vinegar in the same manor as a wine; after all- grapes and aging. The friend who gave it to me and I have been tracking the finest of vinegars for over five decades. How odd you may say; and I may agree. However, it makes a world of difference. I would strongly urge others to try it.
