  2/28/2012 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 Points

  I opened this right as the guests arrived and poured less than a half of a glass right away. I did this for three reasons: pouring a little wine out enables a bit of air to get in, which is a gentler way of introducing air into an older wine than a full decanting; I wanted to see if the wine were flawed (and then need to run down to grab something else); and I was one thirsty bastard. There was a bit of brett on the nose, which I had hoped would eventually wear off. It did for the most part. The fruit, although faded, was still impressive: mostly stewed fruit and red pepper. Average finish.
