Time to drink up!!! Need to make room for other things.
A little past it's prime I'm afraid. Still a nice wine, but not as memorable. Another bad cork, but I don't get a sense of oxidation, so the seal must still be good.

Only fault in this bottle was the cork. The top half broke apart using my normal bar side opener. Will need to remember this next time and use a waiter's tool. Decanted 30 minutes. Beautiful ruby color. Tremendous nose and loads of black fruit across the palate. Balanced, firm tannins, well structured, well made. Probably peaking right now. Delicious. Served with Italian marinaded grilled chicken. My wife really enjoyed it.

Last bottle. This had a good run, but the last two bottles were in decline. Still decent after an hour of air time.

Still drinking very well. Give the at least an hour of air time before pouring the first glass. Two hours would be even better. See previous notes.
