  Blackish red. Vanilla on nose. Medium body. Smooth mouthfeel yet with tannins that are still evident. Predominately blackberry and blueberry. Medium finish.

  Purchase price $16. Parker rating 92. I have tasted several bortles over the years and did not care for the wine. Now it has blossomed and it is rich and lush and balanced throughout. I have found for my taste, grenache and syrah taste much better at the end or even after critics drinking window.

  Similar to last note but slightly better as the barnyard funk is more subdued but still present. But this time on day 2, the wine was more balanced, full and soft, I actually enjoyed the wine a lot more where a very mild funk actually enhanced the finish. I used the Aervana both days and left the Aervana in the bottle overnight instead of using the vacuum cork. I suspect the Aervana helped reduce the funk with the extra surge of oxygen both days. Would rate it 89+ on day 2.

  Full body, meaty as some have described it, probably from aging. However has some barnyard funk that doesn't totally dissipate even on day 2. Dark fruits, particularly blackberry and some tobacco notes. Shows mild acidity on the finish with light tannins. Maybe peaking or more likely slightly past peak. Would have been a lot better if the funk dissipated more.

  Cork soaked through - very high volatile acidity
