what on earth made me keep this bottle so long. i should have realized from low scores given by others that the wine was not living up to its glorious beginnings. this wine was oxidized, almost to the point of being undrinkable. but, being a glutton for punishment, i consumed the wine with unfulfilled delusions that succeeding glassfulls might be better. this bottle had one of the tightest fitting synthetic closures that i have ever come across. so, unless there is something i dpm't understand, i can't blame the wine's condition on that. it would not be fare to offer any additional comment.

With swordfish and beans. Just very good combination. Not a stellar wine but just good color, nose and variety of tastes: fruit spice / herbs. need to try next to the 00 and 01.

Decent wine, nice color in the glass. It was good to wait a while. Chalone is a consistent wine and good QPR.
