No rating here as I keep going back and forth between thinking it’s over the hill vs it just being oxidized but still lively. The first hour, this had a paint chip like note to it...odd finish. However, in to hour number two, it actually showed some savory/toasty fruit notes. Need to try another bottle.

DANGEROUSLY DRINKABLE. Smells strongly of fresh pastry dough, with a very subtle after-smell of those tiny pickles you get at tapas restaurants. Tastes like the wine version of rum punch, fruity and quaffable. Not very complex, though it probably was in its prime.
