S&E Wine Club Blind Tasting (Great Falls, VA): tasted blind; had been decanted 3 hours. Sweet cherry/red fruit/hint of strawberry on the finish. fully ripe, no evident oak. light and lively. At the reveal, was shocked to learn what this was. Never would have given this a chance to go 15 years from vintage date and still have so much fruit.

Lovely, aromatic nose with creamy red berry fruit, hints of spice and vanilla, good depth; smooth, creamy texture, light weight but supple, ripe acidity, velvety tannins; good length.

S&E Wine Club - Mixed vertical and horizontal tasting: Lightly acidic and tart with moderate body and a hint of rustic sweetness - Would be good for a hot sunny day outdoors. Pleasant but average. Short finish

Blind home wine tasting with MOT Scoring sheet (At Home in the Cave): Brick copper and at the end of its life. Short finish with a light bite in the finish - thin overall

Blind home wine tasting with MOT Scoring sheet (At Home in the Cave): Brown copper around the edges and showing age. Thin and no longer appealing - past its best.

Blind home wine tasting with MOT Scoring sheet (At home): Copper brown round the edges. Dry with no aromas or fruit at all. Just average

Thinning but still easily drinkable straight from the bottle. Tannins now low
