A murky, muddy fail. I took care to decant it, but I honestly can't tell the extent to which this wine was past its prime and the extent to which an even more careful decanting could have preserved a bit more life here, because the overall effect was of a red wine slurry. Intended as a birth-year treat to pair with birthday ribs; drinkable, but unremarkable, too.

Well, this did not suck. Full rounded, but with intense structure. Modern, but tasting of meat and game and sweet oak. Who could ask for more? Pounded on through and enjoyed myself.

On day two still smells like beef stew.

Smells like grilled beef that has been left out in the rain. Is it flawed?
