  March 11, 2008 - One of 13 older bottles picked up 'as is' at the local wine store.
  
  Low neck fill. Top of cork rotted, cork barely came out. About a teaspoon of sediment. On opening, very light color, between a light Grenache and a Vin Gris. Very mushroom nose on opening. Light cherry upfront, little tannin, slight raspberry ending in a touch of mint.
  
  +15 minutes Much the same as upon opening, perhaps slightly fuller flavors, still thin mouth feel. Some acidity showing.
  Still, a winner!
  
  +30 Much the same, except stronger mushroom nose, more acidity at the end.
  
  +45 Nose pretty much the same, the cherry is moving towards raspberry and the acidity has lessened and the mint is down to just a hint.
  
  +60 Mushroom still going strong, no real development.
  
  +90 Nose still mushroom, but a slight madeirized component, but the wine tastes like it's going
  
  +105 It's dead. Still, for over an hour a drinkable if only slightly above average wine.
