Opened this up and the cork was perfect

Aromas out of the bottle were wild. Honey and orange blossom. Almost dessert wine like flavors on nose

Pour the wine into the glass and it’s dark dark yellow. Like 30 year aged Sauternes dark. Not good sign

First sip - ugh. It’s bad. Not just oxidized but tainted.

😩. Alas. Hoping the other two bottles in the cellar did better

Opened and decanted for about 2 hours

Evolved from being tight and Bordeaux like to eventually giving off some red fruits and having a kirsch like flavor

Fairly robust and a lot of depth.

This was really good.

Great flavor with raspberry and other red fruits

Solid acidity and freshness.

Little airtime did well but didn’t. Red more than 30 mins to an hour.
