Over the hill and barely drinkable. Burnt rubber and leather on the nose. Thin, short and tart on the palate. Passable with food but not fun to drink on its own.
Bought on Winebid but don't think storage was the problem. Bottle was in perfect condition and cork was only stained 1/8 inch up. I've liked other vintages of this so maybe this was just a bad bottle.
Next night this was much better with fruit showing on the nose and palate so maybe the wine is just in an awkward stage. Score upped from 79 to 85

Drink now, tannins have mellowed somewhat, still full bodied/flavour and nice QPR for $15 CDN.

This bottle was off just a bit from previous bottle, never came together.
