2 of first 6 bottles had turned. As others have pointed out - flat apple juice. Returned remaining 4 bottles and received credit from vendor on first two. Ship has sailed on this vintage it seems.

I am confused. This was the fifth bottle of 6 I originally had. I have posted comments that this vintage of this wine was not quite up to the real value that two earlier vintages exhibited. This wine was good for the price, but not a major steal. However, this bottle exhibited more of the quality in the earlier vintages and was not tasting a little tired as I commented in a tasting note last fall.....and which is reflected in other tasting notes. Drinking wine is not a game of perfect.

Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
At first, I thought the wine was turned, or at least way past its prime. But over time (particularly on day 2 as others have noted) it was really quite nice, Calif in style to be certain, but not too heavy handed.
I will definitely decant the next one. Who knows?

Undrinkable--oxidized, flat, tasting of stale apple juice, no acid.
