Far inferior to February's bottle. Less overt oxidation due to plastic cork in the aromatics, but the profound loss of verve in the mouth is totally distressing.

This is the final syntetic cork sealed bottle we have (one was born with real cork, the other three I vacuum recorked at Cadence winery last month. Although Erin guessed it to be Veltliner from a ripe vintage, and went so far as to peg it as a 99er, this bottle displayed little of the premature oxidation that others have. A bit of florid mushroomy umami in the nose, a bit of advanced color, but I am no longer panicked to drink those three fakies this year. Although I won't tarry significantly. Defoil yours today! It might be approaching its death knell!
