Like two prior notes from others, this was from Winebid. Cork was in excellent shape. Pored reddish-brown. Lots of leather and tar. Put on weight and the color became more ruby red at the core. Fruitless but not without some charm. A good bottle.

Another WineBid bomb. Cork disintegrated when removal was attempted, and I ended up having to strain. A rusty brown color, looking like Madeira. Tastes like it also...very prune-like and overly sweet. Thin, and extremely flat flavor-wise. There is no fruit left in this wine. I think bwillia's tasting note suggesting this wine was cooked, or at least improperly stored at some point, may be correct. We dumped it after a few sips.

Extremely madeirized. Undrinkable. This was a WineBid wine so obviously it got ccoked somewhere along it's life. Shame!
