  Stored in a basement for it's life. Aerated & decanted. Still very drinkable and actually quite enjoyable. Deep ruby in color, a bunch of sediment, and while past it's prime, it was still enjoyable with dinner. If you have one, consider enjoying it very soon.

  decanted and aerated, served at about 70 degrees.
  I knew this wine was just past peak, so I did not expect much. I had one glass with dinner about 25 minutes after I decanted it. That first glass was less than I expected, but drinkable. Maybe closer to a rating of 70. As I often do, I left the wine overnight in the sealed decanter and hoped for the best. The next night the wine was much better, closer to a 76. The color was a deep garnet / purple. The nose was predominantly blackberries with a little bit of potting soil (earthy, but not the moist soil smell of many 'earthy' wines). It had a medium-light to medium body with good legs that formed quickly. Not complex in taste. It reminded me of the standard table wine our local Italian cucina pours.

  Concord grape nose which often signals bargain wine to me. Flat on the palate with a somewhat burnt flavor. Nothing too interesting here. I mean for $7 it's not going to offend you but I'd rather save my money personally.

  This bottle was the last of our 2006 Concannon PS. The previous two bottles were drunk at pre-football game tailgate parites with less than ideal tasting conditions (plastic glasses and 95+ degree temperatures). Although we did pre-decant and chill the wine below ambient air temperature, getting everything right was difficult. This bottle, however, was enjoyed at home under much better conditions. It was decanted with the Vinturi, but had very little air time beyond that. Previous bottles suggested this was a Pop and Pour wine.
  Color: Deep garnet to purple.
  Nose: Fruity, like Welsh's grape juice.
  Body: medium
  Taste: Fruity, but short of being jammy. Not much tannic structure or complexity.
  Finish: Short, but no off-notes.
  Overall: At $7.00, this is a pleasant enough wine with fair QPR. It wasn't a "wowee", though. We'll probably sample future vintages for quality when on sale.

  Impressive bottle, unfortunately contents do not measure up. Rich bit one domensional nose, continued onto palate. Claimed to retail at $16 - if that is a genuine price then we are in fantasyland.. Reasonable value for the $8 I paid
