Sunday, January 2, 2022 - What a difference a day makes.

Day 1: opened and decanted for 2 hours. It was horrid. Musty, flat, no nose (other than mold), and no finish. Figured it was corked. Left overnight in the decanter to see what would happen...

Day 2: OMG. It's so good! The nose is still slightly musty, but the mouthfeel is terrific--secondary and tertiary--and there is a finish...a really nice finish. Thought it was a treat.

Have two more bottles and learned my lesson for them...
