June 17, 2023 - Under cork. Excellent condition. Dark and brooding still. Slightly porty.

September 6, 2019 - Cork is in great form. Hardly used. This particular bottle has a stiff backbone of tannin. Deep red. Losing fruit. Goes well with meat pizza.

December 28, 2018 - {15.5%} Acetic and alcoholic. Portlike nose. Raw aged palate with low tannin and lots of bacterial spoilage; full-bodied, but in a collapsing ruin kind of way. Warm, alcoholic palate, but way too port-like. May have had dubious storage (if not, this is out-and-out faulty), but not convincing for a decade’s aging in any way. Pass.
