Appeared recently on Last Bottle. Said to be 2009 vintage. Cork though is fresh. Very little color on it. Like it was bottled a few months ago.
Researched the wine. There’s zero record. Finally tracked down a copyright on label and a holding company. Possible this was someone else’s fruit and they put it under their label when they bought it. Whole thing is strange. Never another vintage.
Wine isn’t half bad. And way better on Day 2. Actually left cork off the bottle overnight and it was better drinking the next day. Hard to believe it’s 2009 fruit tho.

Still drinking strong after 16 years in the bottle. Mellowed out. Tannins are light. Notes of cherry, currant, blackberry.
Basically PNP. Still about the same after an hour decant. Drink up if u have it!
