Didn't really know what to expect. Popped and poured a class. Saved the rest for another day. Very closed in both aroma and taste at first including a bit of a sharp finish. Set the glass aside and revisited about 30 min later. Boy did this change. Gone were the flashes alcohol and replaced by a smooth, enjoyable wine. Not too complex, but for $25, nice!

Drank 2 bottles 1 day apart. Both bottles were decanted to remove a remarkable amount of sediment and then poured into glass. Dark fruit very apparent. Becoming very integrated with that plum/prunish nose. This wine is hitting its stride. Noticeable decline after 45 minutes of air, with the finish becoming fairly hot. Has the structure to remain pleasant for a couple more years, but drink quickly once poured. As an aside, on second night, taste compared to 1999 Freemark Bosche'. the two were a bit opposite. Bosche improved the longer exposed to air, Phelps didn't.
