  Didn't take detailed notes. Tired, old and no balance whatsoever. Fun to try but didn't have a chance considering what it was opened with

  Slow oxygenation for 6 hours before pouring. Level upper shoulder. Smelt a bit dead in bottle on opening but followed a typical slow oxygenation profile - unpleasant smell fades over 3 hours, then a bit neutral for a couple of hours before fruit starts to show around 5 hours after pulling the cork. Amber colour, looks more like a rose than a red. Light nose of rosehips - pleasant. To taste a healthy and drinkable wine but clearly old and faded. Fruit has an aged soft sweetness to it. Redcurrant and rosehip fruit still, a touch stalky but drank well for about an hour - a hint of VA towards the end but no rapid decline.

  Tannins were high, lots of life still in the taste. Decanted well - not much sediment. A little harsh at first, but after taking a bit of dark chocolate (Brix) WOW what a difference. Smoothed out nicely and had a very good flavor. Earthy in bouqet and slight taste. Very nice experience overall.
