Much better than the last bottle, though not particularity complex. Maybe this was both a better bottle and a better pairing with homemade bolognese.

Definitely off. Though I'm not sure if it was simply oxidized or cooked.

Complex on the nose. Dried fruit, spices, wet autumn leaves. Tasted exactly like dried apricots. Best on first day.

Bought 6 of these fellas. Lots of bottle variation. Some were a bit hot and a little to tannic others were more mellow and great. Still a decent bottle to drink now
