  Not what I remember. Maybe a little past its prime

  This had the smoky taste upfront that you would expect from a Cigarzine wine, but it had a big raisin taste on the back. I decanted for 30 minutes. The last few glasses started to get a little vinegary an hour after decanting . I didn't store the bottle properly, however, so I was pleasantly surprised.

  This is definitely on the back end of its life. What i mentioned in my last note about being best after 10 minutes, but the wine fades after 30 minutes. Still pleasant.

  On our first pour we used our Vinturi aerator and thought it was OK but not great. For 2 nd glasses we poured straight from the bottle and thought it was much better. Give it a little air but not too much aeration and it makes a nice wine.
