Auction purchase. First two bottles PnP. Baked apple, dirt. A bit bitter. This bottle has jumped the shark EDIT: Maybe a point or two better after a two hour slo-ox with a bit of red fruit emerging. An interesting $25 experiment, but nowhere close to a re-buy.

Opened another bottle and cork was crumbly but the wine was fine, good in fact. It is well aged, of course, but not over the hill. Muted aromatics but lingering finish with some acid/tannin still present but smoothed out. Definitely drinkable for a few more years. Tasted over three days and even on day three it was fine.

95. Absolutely outstanding. Perfectly balanced, still a great deal of fruit. The nose faded somewhat, but outstanding overall.
