November 10, 2013 - Aerated and decanted for 4+ hours... A bit thin but not ugly, initially a fair amount of oak and alcohol on the nose and palate then "rounds" like a bumpy tire to a mix of sour berries and tar... nit really a favorite but I think I cellared this for a couple years too long....

A little too sweet to serve with food but delicious on its own. whenever I see a natural cork in an old bottle, I just cross my fingers. I pour about a third of them down the sink. I think this one was saved by the plastic cork.
