Seems tired upon opening, but, having allowed it a day's time after opening, the fruit began to emege and it was universally well received, accompanied by some aged parmigano. This one needs tair ime ... lots of air time.

9 months since the last taste and the softness that this achiveved at last tasting has progressed toward "end of life". Not enough fruit to bring it to life upon opening, much more life an hour later. Drink it soon or not at all.

Age added something to this from the last tasting a year ago. Probably nearing the end of its prime, so drink up.

Next to the last bottle of a case lot. While others seemed be on the decline, this oddly one stayed fresh, retaining its youthful color.

Developing the look of an old wine although only a 2005. Still drinkable finish the rest quickly.

Sitting 4 months since the last tasting has softened this wines. Several hours of air made a difference.

On the tannic side. Perhaps a year's rest will help.

less fruit than I'd expect, a bit tannic, far more balanced an hour after opening
