We bought half a case of this through Vivino recently. We have now tried five of the bottles, and at best, it tastes way past its prime, with definite oxidation. One bottle was undrinkable, and had definite brown color on the edges of the glass. Anyone tried this recently and had different experience?

Had two of these in Eurocave for several years, and wasn’t sure what we’d find based on prior reviews. Cork was difficult to remove, but intact. Filtered for sediment and decanted. Deep red color, clean nose, and intact black cherry and other dark fruit notes. Definitely taste the added complexity due to age. Long finish with some chewiness. Hard to say how long this will stay drinkable, but seems to have some runway remaining. Pleasantly surprised!

Still hanging in there somehow! Beautiful golden color. Caramel, yeast, and toasty notes, very pleasant!
