  Mature wines at Marco's (Milford, CT): Nothing here that I would recognize as Pinot Noir, but it's remarkably well balanced, still quite fresh and quite fascinating to drink. Brambly red berried fruit, higher toned spicy notes, developed earthiness and just a faint touch of VA make this quite appealing to smell and taste, and while it's not the most complex wine, it's both interesting and pleasurable at this age.

  This is a perfectly stored bottle of a not very good wine. Nice ruby color. Rusted somewhat maderized aromas. Something like rotten tomatoes and tin on the palate. barely drinkable. This was an experimental purchase from Zachys for $25. They've owned it since release. Dumping out

  This was fun to try for the price ($15), but as feared was over the hill. It's just barely drinkable though, with some dried cranberry/blackberry essence, black tea and earth. We wondered aloud what the wine must have tasted like 20 years ago, or even on release...
