When you “forget” an average bottle of wine in the basement, there are two outcomes: 1. It turns to vinegar or 2. You end up with a pretty good wine. And this is exactly what happened to my 1999 Black Opal. After 25 years we had a great wine for our steak dinner.

Dry red. Berries and spice to the nose follows through to plum, cheery and a little chocolate to taste. OK for the price.

Surprisingly good for the price! Rich, fruity nose gave way quickly to a full bodied flavor, robust with cherries, pomegranate, cranberry, and oak. Very thick; very dry.

This is kind of bad. It's grossly dry, weirdly sweet, all around not good.
