Lots of bottle variation in this wine. I enjoyed this more than my past two bottles and tasting notes. Nevertheless, it is fully mature and starting on the decline. I’m glad this was my last bottle. Good, not great!

I poured this down the drain in February for being oxidized. Tonight, it was not oxidized but it is past its prime. Ruby brown in color suggests it is on a fast evolutionary track. These bottles were purchased upon release so they have been stored perfectly since purchase. I have one more remaining. Drink up!

Ugh! I hated pouring this down the drain tonight. The juice just wasn’t worth the squeeze. It wasn’t corked, it wasn’t cooked, it wasnt oxidized… It was just dead and flat. My previous tasting notes of this wine were better than this one and those bottles came from the same case. Bottle variation? Proves the saying… “there are no great wines, only great bottles.”
