2005 Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Drank on Christmas eve. Didn't have much notes. Opened it up and it was approachable from the start. ripe red fruits with mushroom, forest floor notes. consistent notes on the palate, decent amount of fruits and acidity, clean finish. a classic wine that should age effortlessly for another two decades.

I definitely would open this 05 Malescot bottle again. It was very approachable from very beginning. I think it is already in the prime drinking window where tertiary notes have been developed and tannin is softened.

2003 The Standish Wine Company Shiraz The Standish Barossa Valley

It is ruby in the core and a bit brick-ish in the rim. Smells amazingly with black currant, raisin, coconut, cigar box and dark chocolate. Very full bodied, smooth. 20-30s finish. A well polished Aussie Shiraz that I cannot find any flaw in it and it is in the prime drinking window.

I tried the left-over 1/5 the next day, refrigerate stored. Both the structure and aroma faded away significantly so I can see issue you were having.

2008 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT Sangiovese

A delicious Tuscan Sangiovese by Fontodi. This is a wine you can chew on with concentrated black jammy fruit.
