March 1, 2024 - 3/1/24- Soft cork, was able to pull it out by hand once started. Lots of sediment, especially on the cork, and it stained my hands. Tastes funny, like almost candy. Can't tell if it went bad. Doesn't smell bad, but can smell alcohol. Fruit is muted except for that odd candy flavor. Sealed by vacuum pump cork.
3/8/24-I've had a small glass every other day up to today, and today was the best showing. Actually tasted like a cabernet today, with juice and deep fruit. Alcohol has remained strong but today the fruit did not give an inch. This was a very hard wine to figure but it redeemed itself today. I was on the verge of tossing this in fact. I would have this now and hope for the best. I'd taste it upon opening, and if you have similar impression as I did, I'd throw it in decanter. Had this in a deep bowled glass and noticed the legs really persisted on the side, longer than anything in memory.235 views
