  I had hoped this wine would at some point turn around and become drinkable. It is not headed in that direction. I will have to find some other use (cooking, vinegar feed) for this wine.

  Just way too tannic for the fruit. That is after a 3 hour decant. It will never turn around. Give it away as a gift or turn it to vinegar. Not worth $5, let alone $15, and 2010 was a good vintage. Oh, well, win a few lose a few.

  Really harsh, nasty tannins to begin with. I decanted and let sit for several days. By day 2 it had improved. By day 4 it had a sherry-like nose an flavor. Sorry I have 7 more bottles. Not worth the $15. Dump it.

  Somewhat flat. Perhaps past its prime.
