It actually held up pretty good, but would have been much better if I had consumed this bottle 2 years ago. Very solid and impressive. This wine was $24 back in '03 when I purchased it. I believe Hartford is getting more these days. In general really great, but this one was just a little past its prime.

- Flavours of mushroom and raspberry - A bit bitter at first, alcohol and restrained fruit. Much better with an hour of air. Velvet, smoke and nice bouquet. Would keep.
