Opened second bottle because of concerns with cork and it too was showing signs of failing. Would suggest the corks were not holding up at least on the 1.5 bottles. Wine was still solid in flavor and identical to previous bottle

Concerned that wine was flawed but found it much as it was two years ago. Initial taste was all berries which mellowed after opening up. Cork had started to show signs of leakage but wine was definitely intact. Actually improved within first ten minutes.

Dark, purplish red color; sweet blackberry jam on the nose on palate big and sweet with some dusty tannins. to my taste heavy and clumsy; elegance and charm missing. This is just not my type of wine anymore...

dark purple red, turning carmine at the rim on the nose, big, sweet black and red berry fruit on palate "in your face" with lots of alcohol, sweetness, big, bold gutsy. It's not a bad wine but just not my style anymore. I suggest to drink this one; more bottle age will not change it or its style very much anymore.

I enjoyed it. Enjoyed it with a tomato based pasta; it seemed balanced for what we had.
