This bottle was aging acceptably. The wine grape flavors melded together nicely but the wine lost some character in that monolithic flavor profile but gained a bit back with the nice aged character. But it was a net loss.

This bottle did not hold up well. The oak finish had given way to a comparably dry tannin and a bit of cherry sweetness. The front was tired but still showed the blue berries. If this bottle is representative drink the wine in the first few years after purchasing. They are now using a composite cork which may contribute to lack of staying power.
