  • having with Thanksgiving dinner first sip was good waiting for the food to come out
    decanted through a screen very gently for over 2 hours, after having very carefully removed the cork
    hoping these changes to previous bottles will make a big difference

  • first bottle from my first skinner auction, decanted but drank a half glass right after aerating, not sure at the moment, seems quite mellow with surprisingly little sediment even though cork broke in 1/2 when removed. going to keep trying a few sips throughout the night as it decants longer to see if it changes.

  • Another bottle from my auction purchase a dozen years ago or so. Very good color (dark purple)/mature nose (black cherry, some oak, some leather)/rich mouthfeel, almost portlike/good finish with lingering texture. This is so rich that it might become tiresome after two glasses. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I consider this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

  • Purchased at auction 8-9 years ago before Prisoner was hot; maybe 15-18/b. Rich, dark color; muted nose; subtle briary, cherry body with very good mouthfeel; modest finish. Delicious but looks bigger than it tastes. No sign of decline but fruit is surprisingly muted, and I doubt that it will improve. Good to have some but would not buy more, even at the nice price. Take care with food pairing: this could get lost with big food flavors.
