At 61 this half bottle still had strong ruby/purple color solid to the rim of the glass and good dark cherry fruit. Could this have had Pinot & Petite Sirah in with the Gamay? The tannins were resolved, maybe to much, and the wine did not have any gras left, but it sure was a pretty look into the past!

This half bottle made it, and still had allure and pleasure if only on a thin, frail frame. It was much improved from hours of decanter time.

Crazy cool-mushroom herb broth, really cool complex nose, total shock, some cool fresh fruit on the back end
