So, two nights after opening this I went back to the bottle that had sat room temperature on my counter, with a simple stopper in the bottle.
My original note is here.
About 70% of the time I do this, I take a taste and pour out the glass and the bottle. 30% of the time, funny things have happened. Some just odd, others very enjoyable.
This was more than enjoyable. The wine had evolved wonderfully, developing some complexity, continuing to give the fruit with both strong and subtle flavors that it showed originally and the tannins had smoothed down beautifully. The finish was long and delightful.
It is so great when the 30% happens like this. It confirms for me that this wine will drink remarkably well for many many years to come.
