  Good not great. Petrol note at first. Opened up after and hour and was good. Not much fruit left. But smooth and enjoyable.

  Both bottles were DOA. Purchased 4 bottles at winebid auction, all had fills into the neck and sound corks. But all bottles have been completely shot and undrinkable. This was probably at peak in 2001.

  Another clunker from a lot purchased at auction via winebid. The fill was into the neck and the cork was pristine, but just like the first bottle, this was tired and clearly well past it’s peak, which I’m guessing was around 2002. These wines had some real cheerleaders on the wineberserkers board, so I took a flyer at $25++

  The fill was into the neck and the cork was sound. Murky garnet with some bricking at the rim. Tired notes of old barrels, earth and balsamic vinegar. Time and air did not help. Down the drain. Winebid auction purchase.
