Kept in perfect storage since release. When opened, it was cloudy vinegar. A friend in the wine biz recently told me that in the mid and late 1990s, there were numerous issues with Portuguese corks. I do have one more bottle, so maybe I’ll get lucky with that one.

BWC 2014 - The Grand Crus of Chambertin: This bottle was cloudy, even though it stood up for 48 hours. It had a lovely perfume that expanded with air to show truffle notes amidst the orange peel and bright red berry aromas. The wine was spread out though, lacking focus and energy, and it faded more quickly than everything on the table. Nice, but did not demonstrate Grand Cru quality.

Confraria - Abril (Le Chef Rouge Restaurant - São Paulo - Brasil): Disappointing. Oxidized. Poorly stored?

Great wine. It was overshadowed by other wines of the night. Retains a nice fruit and aromas, but lacked complexity.
