Fruit day - but makes no difference as it was closed with one of those plastic corks. Grrrr…. Why do wineries do that? Sadly, this wine (due to the cork) pours mahogany into the glass. Fair bit of sediment so decanted off it. Nose is prune, rum raisin, wet tobacco and forest floor. On the palate its rich and smooth but the flavours are similar to the nose - overripe plums, melted dark chocolate, old tobacco with a warm finish carrying the overripe fruit and tobacco.

the wine is fine and ready to drink. But like 1 hour after opening acquired a strange taste (like vinegar )- anyway it was good enough previously and didn´t remain so much to drink,

Stored at 60 degrees. Drinking great, dense fruit getting mature, still some life left.
