Maybe it is the food or maybe it is the weather but this wine seemed much improved from last year. Very smooth yet very complex, very ready to drink. I am thinking that Swansons are not long term cellar wines but more ready to drink in 6 to 8 years.

Drank over two days. Ripe and not interesting in the least. Didn't evolve at all over the two days. I can drink it but wouldn't recommend it at any price. I don't know what age will do for it but might as well try it as there is no point in drinking it now.

We brought this bottle to The Scantuary on Washington Av. to have with dinner. Unfortunately it got warmed up in the car on the way but our waitress brought us a chiller. After being open for an hour and being cilled down to room teep it was very enjoyable. Not a lot of fruit but good depth. I think this wine will age nicely for a few more years.
