Gave this a couple round trips through the aerating decanter due to A) Jura and B) relative youth. Wasn't necessary as this is ripe and smooth with almost pinot-like silkiness. A very easy quaffer. Some nice dustiness on the nose. Almost wish a bit more quirkiness but maybe that is the Jura of old.

Nice... Late stage maturity. Can see why this juice didn't make it into the Monte Bello as this bottling has always been a bit muted and lacking in complexity. Still a good pleasurable wine.

Slightly off bottle with port-like elements. But given that my original purchase price was $15.80 I'm not too bent out of shape - esp. since this is the first dud.
