April 1, 2013 - Definitely well past its prime. You could tell there was some complexity there at one point, and it starts out nicely, with some dark berry and chocolate tones, maybe a hint of tobacco, and then goes . . . nowhere. The taste quickly dissipates on your tongue. I got this bottle at an auction, so I'm completely in the dark on its provenance - so if you have a bottle you've held in the right conditions, then you may be fine. But I would advise it's time to drink up. I know it wasn't a corked bottle because the synthetic cork had full integrity, so it was either stewed or past its prime. Will save the rest of the bottle for cooking wine. I'm going to pass on assigning a grade to this one, because it would be a low grade, and I'm not sure that's fair. If I did, it would be an 80.
