This bottle had retained a little more freshness. Enough to convince you that this was a really nice wine at one point. Medium golden hue at first but evolves rapidly once open. The texture is very nice, but a this point lacks focus and intensity

First bottle out of a case. Clearly past its peak with obvious signs of oxidation. THe hue is turning and the aromatics are starting to shift as well. Well made and balanced wine. It's just at the end of its life. Hopefully, some of the other bottles will be better...

Still drinkable but definitely losing/lost its fruit. A hint of gun smoke. Quite powerful but isn't really still in the window. On the plus side, it is still a wonderful cooking wine. Great for cooking rabbit and pigs trotters in.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction; 4/1/2016-4/2/2016 (Tru Restaurant - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Ripe and mature with very good concentration vs expectations. Some earth coming through. Drinking nicely now, but time to drink up.
