Friday, October 2, 2015 - A wine that was officially beyond its time made it very well. Decanted after some skillful uncorking. Went at it in case it turned.

It started out with an interesting potential of a nose but was thin on taste and presence. Then unlike my other overdues that would go flat once exposed to air it just got better and better and better and held it all still after over 2 hours.

Every sniff and taste seemed to produce a different set of flavours ; from tobacco to black currant.

It almost gave me regret I shared the bottle with very special friends.
