Popped and poured. Much better than the last bottle, still hints of stewed fruit, but this was much more subdued this time around. Still some fruit up front, but not much, and there was no sign of tannin to be found, but the acidity was still there and was able to hold the wine together. Very good

Popped and poured. Definite stewed aspect to this one. Mis-stored at some point? Not a lot of fruit to be found but still somewhat interesting. Good, but nothing more.

Tight and lean yesterday. Decanted half hour. Quarter bottle left overnight in recorked bottle had opened up quite a bit revealing a nice bit of earthy fullness.

Way better than expected. Funky nose that blew off quickly. Lots of red fruit flavors. Surprise.
