Listings are mostly in 'Fortified' category, some are in 'Portugal' - go figure.

Nothing super high crazy, mostly smaller lots. An '08, a '47 then lots of 60/70/80/90's.

A lot of the older stuff has Signs of Seepage, that's not good.

I wish Acker took photos - I'd be far more confident with their auctions if they did.

On the auction spectrum, I've found Acker has some of the worst conditioned bottles. But I've come to expect that and the prices usually correspond. And in my experience, their customer support has been at the high end of the spectrum. So I still buy from them on occasion, knowing that some things may be more of a gamble.
