  Thought it was corked at first. Lots of age obviously and the cork itself was saturated to the edge with slight mildew under the foil. An hour later, the flavor of the wine sang through. Muted, to be sure, but still compelling enough for a spaghetti and meatballs dinner.

  Even in 2015, still a great great wine. Deserves a much better rating then it's given.

  Russk M&T's cellar reduction party. One of my favorites. Nice earthy barnyardy stink, but maybe a touch too much. 90+

  Not as interesting as we hoped. Structured and tannic. Softened by second night, to flabbiness, but with better show of fruit.
