This bottle didn't show well, even time in decanter didn't help. (The 1999 Corison easily topped it, that night.)

We were too eager and pop-and-poured, in spite of it's age, this wine really needed some time in the decanter

6 hours in the decanter helped

Drinkable, but past its prime - useful for educating on that "old wine" nose and flavor.

Defied the CellarTracker drinking window and was surprisingly good.

A very good bottle.

Did not decant. Took an hour or two to come into its own - before that it seemed a touch past its prime. One of those "I could just smell this all night" wines.

Worth what I paid - will buy more

When I first opened this bottle I wondered why I'd liked it before. There was a sour aftertaste that I've noticed with some inexpensive (cheap) amontillado. But after a couple days in the fridge, that went away and it became the pleasant Madeira-like wine I'd enjoyed previously.

I just really enjoy this wine. It's a good value when it can be found on sale at $16 a bottle.

Nose has a bit of a Pinot-like funk, with a flavor to match. Not to my taste - would not buy again.

Broke the cork, so decanted to another 750ml bottle. Drank well in spite of the forced aeration.

a decent wine - especially after being disappointed by the Firefly cab

The color was watery/transparent. Seemed thin in the mouth. Less cab-like than the Firefly 2006 Syrah.

Well past its prime. Not vinegar, but on its way.

Tight out of the bottle. Having gotten home after dancing seven hours, I collapsed in bed with half a glass left. That remaining half glass was actually better in the morning.

The first whiff directly out of the bottle had just a little bit of heat, and then it quickly settled down.

A very good accompaniment to the four dinner salads (two with meat and two veg) we had with dinner. A good value.

Nice - it's like a simple, low-alcohol madeira - very good at the price.

8/24/2008 - TimothyB wrote:

My first madeira. I have no basis for comparison, but we all enjoyed it a lot. A bit sweet, but not cloying. It was an excellent way to cap off a wine tasting.

Something to be enjoyed very slowly, goews well with spicy foods
