  No início a dúvida, mas depois de um tempo aberto e de algumas provas se confirmou que o vinho estava passado e levemente cozido.

  showed flashes of what it might have been, but this bottle was either in a deep slumber or dead.
  Only upon swirling vigorously was even the slightest suggestion of anything resembling wine released - acid out of balance. Some liked it more than I.

  I keep waiting for this wine to open up, but it never does. I've had several bottles since the release, but none have given much pleasure.
  Ruby red color, a touch of brush and mushroom on the nose. The wine is light to mediuim weight and has a nice mouthfeel, but, other than a suggestion of some tart cherries, there is nothing in this wine - and over the course of a few hours of being open, it even lost that. IMO, it's dead.
