This is my last of 6 bottles purchased from a wine tasting at Western CT State University in 2002. The last one I tasted and shared in December 2011 held up quite well; garnet color but fruity and juicy with a long enduring finish that I remembered so well upon purchasing it. One final bottle to go for 2012. It'll be before Spring.

Drank from my cellar as part of my "drink the old ones" campaign. This was indeed "old" and on the verge of spoiling. Big full bodied, but with a hint of oxidation damage. Not so bad I would pour it out.

Alas, the final bottle... almost caramel-like in its texture; fruity and long finishing. Hated to see it end!
