Still quite drinkable, but definitely on its way out. Color is faded with significant bricking at the edges. Closed at first, but came around nicely after an hour or so, though eventually started to fade again. Acid is poking through a bit over faded fruit. Went really well with a mushroom risotto.

Popped and poured, drank without food for the most part. Light color, no burnishing to color. First nose was musty, and not very pleasant. Over a few hours, the nose opened up and fruit came to the fore. Light-body. Still fresh, lively fruit flavors. Medium to long finish. Still potable, but you should open it now and enjoy, if you have any.

opened and consumed 30min later...muted on the nose, very light ruby color, palate was rather one dimensional but acidity provided solid backbone and verve to the wine...overall past the point of any interesting enjoyment.

Med bodied. taking on an older brick red color, maybe some orange. Flavors of dark, ripe concentrated strawberry and minerality. I liked this wine for how light it was. the acidity is there too to keep it austere.

No tasting not recorded. Similar impression to previous tasting, consistent.
