Aerated and decanted for 4+ hours... A bit thin but not ugly, initially a fair amount of oak and alcohol on the nose and palate then "rounds" like a bumpy tire to a mix of sour berries and tar... nit really a favorite but I think I cellared this for a couple years too long....

The joys of the artificial cork. Even though it's outside the drinking window the wine has held up well. It now has a complex almost port like quality. A little too sweet to serve with food but delicious on its own. whenever I see a natural cork in an old bottle, I just cross my fingers. I pour about a third of them down the sink. I think this one was saved by the plastic cork.

A bit thin and uninteresting. Perhaps it will develop a bit with time; I’m not so sure.
