Birth year bottle #1 popped today to celebrate 40! Glad the cork on this one was popped today. definitely the good advice of someone who knew a little more than I did. This wine was not bad, but it was definitely not stellar. Probably about 5 to 7 years post prime. The news was a lot of must and weed and cut grass. I did let this sit for about 20 minutes to slow ox and figure out some things. The entry was a combination of tart cherry, a little hint of plum and raisin. Fruit profile was definitely giving more of the way to a dried tobaccoit was still a little bit funky and had plenty of soil and mushroom. Definitely past its prime, but enjoyable. Very glad that I only have one bottle.
