  Terrible and massively bretty. Down the drain.

  This wine is holding up nicely, well balanced with the acid carrying the red fruit notes. It is translucent with the slightest hint of brick and a wide meniscus. Legs are thin slow and plentiful.
  Very pleased to find this in the cellar, even more pleased to still be holding one more bottle. Paired it with prime rib, may be better with a rich pasta (thoughtfully planning my near term future....)

  There are some harsh notes here and perhaps the age helped. Red with a brown hue, notes of very ripe raspberry, also blackberry. I did not get a lot of earthy notes which I would have liked, but it was still well balanced. We did not have time to decant very long, but not sure it needed that much given its age. Paired well with Lebanese (lamb, etc.) tonight.

  My last bottle of this wine, over 5 years ago I was not all that impressed. I decided to give it some time to see if it would help. I can say now that the time has paid off. This was drinking beautifully tonight.

  started out hot and too ripe, but with air it improved quite a bit. Still not a big fan, but perhaps more time will benefit?
