Poured a little into a glass at 2pm to find a decrepit, tired liquid devoid of life, hopefully a 6 hour Audouze can help restore a little life. Audouzing was a kind of vinous ‘Packer Whacker’ and it jolted the wine to life, stimulating a weak heart beat that pumped a little sous bois and sap through the wine. A sweet vinous heart quickly reverted back to caramel and as the wine emitted its last spicy breath all we were left with was a soupy mess that tasted like PX sherry with a bitter stem finish. One glass with coq au vin was serviceable, the rest of the bottle was sink fodder.
