May 14, 2013 - Tasted the wine April 2013 out of proper storage. Good fruit, delicious, without a hint of oxidation (which i mention due to several other tasting notes).

May 18, 2012 - This bottle has far more appeal with fresher lemon peel notes and little of the oxidative influence of the prior bottle. Hope my remaining stash drinks like this.

May 9, 2012 - Medium gold; little olfaction; tart oxided apple/pear on palate; remains alive and decently drinkable onthe strength of acidic spine.

April 21, 2012 - MBEF Wine Auction Group Dinner 2012 (Tells): Off-color; dark golden; oxidized, spoiled; suspect exposed to heat. Bought at auction, so cause of problem is unclear.
