Interesting experiment in bottle variation. This is the best one so far. Still plenty of fruit. Decent attack and mid palate. Weak finish. But most people would like to have this bottle at their dinner table, I think.

Hmm, this bottle confirms fears I had before I popped the first one. This one's pretty much faded. Not much on the palate. Just alcohol. Well, two down and four to go.

Meant to drink these last winter but they got buried in the bottom of my wine storage and I didn't want to dig them out. I popped the cork and the initial taste was bitter and alcohol. I thought maybe it was faded. But after a few minutes of oxygen the wine revived. Lots of tobacco and burnt earth. A little bit of barnyard. A shortish finish and kind of a hollow mid palate. Good balance. A steal on close out for $5 from K&L. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.

Again, another good bottle. Again tobacco and maybe pencil shavings and burnt earth. This bottle probably has the best finish. Quite pleasant.
