After reading the preceding CT notes on this wine I was afraid to open a bottle of this wine. Happy to say my bottle showed very well good enough to score a 90. Not near it's peak but I will drink my remaining bottle over the coming year.

Thankfully my last bottle and continues to be an undrinkable wine. If you still have any of these I'm not sure what to tell you except maybe use for cooking and the alcohol will burn off. Would probably make a nice reduction sauce.

PnP. Pruny blackberries and cherry kirsch with some spice and meat. Very simple fruit on palate with more than a hint of etoh. Still with decent acidity and tannins, so this has some balance, but this is not smile-inducing and, judging from my previous notes, not at a good stage at this age and indicates that I'm dealing with either palate or bottle variation.

All but undrinkable. Over extracted alcoholic mess.
