  Surprisingly fresh. I might have guessed merlot if tasted blind, but never 21 years old.

  These two bottles were amazing! These were really lucky bottles however as their is lots of variety between the bottles, as this wine is overdue for drinking, so if you have any left do not wait even a day, drink it right now. I had first bottle of my stash about 6minths ago and I fell in love, now some of the bottles were already spoilt, but these two I had today were awesome!

  Unfortunately both bottles I opened from 2 different boxes, but from the same seller tasted flawed, one Of them was as a touch better than the other. The drinking period has definitely passed unless somebody stored it very properly... it is also unfortunate as I got 2 cases of it and now need to return the remaining 20 bottles I have.
  
  Only few months ago this was my favorite top secret great value wine... very sad that it is gone forever.

  I've found a lot of bottle variation in the couple dozen bottles of Sant'Elena I've gone through and this one errs on the worse side... see my two notes close together in 2012, and this bottle is more like the earliest note. It's fine but it certainly feels long in the tooth, but again, may just be bottle variation.
