Second disappointing bottle from this vintage. I fear my entire allocation from this vintage was ruined in the delivery process (six bottles plus a magnum).
I pulled this out last night (was a St Clement wine member many moons ago). Wasn't expecting much. Cork crumbled but I strained and poured into decanter. Was very good upon initial tasting. Worried it would fade but three hours after decanting was still very good. I probably overrated this but I was just so pleasantly surprised.

Kind of flat. Decanted for two plus hours. Am a JP member and have had many Insignias and this was one of the most disappointing.
