January 8, 2015 - Air time made a huge difference, as it started out fairly stinky, but that blew off to show pleasant red fruit, leather, and a little earthiness. It wasn't as tart than the last bottle I tried, but still has a fair bit of acidity. A pretty good showing after more than 15 years under a synthetic cork.

January 4, 2014 - Breton, Texier, and Puzelat: Tart, simple, and a little stinky, but still alive despite 16 years under an artificial cork. It changed quite a bit with air, at times showing classic syrah black pepper, with fruit fading in and out, and still with nice color, it is a shame to imagine what it could have been under a different closure.
