Came across this cellar orphan while doing some rearranging in the cellar. Opened at a friends open house gathering since it was almost past its' prime. Oh man this was surprisingly fresh, and full of dark red fruit. No hard edges here, and perfectly balanced. Cork was in incredible condition, and knew it could be special. Newton didn't disappoint anyone and all thought it was excellent. Would say it could easily have gone another 3-4 years in the bottle.

No rating. I was pleasantly surprised upon opening that it wasn’t noticeably corked; quite the contrary, it actually appeared to have some life left in it. However, after about 30 minutes all traces of life completely left and what was left in the bottle was little more than watered down grape juice.

By far my best of six, no TCA, mature berry flavors with hints of well integrated oak. Almost makes up for prior flawed bottles.
