Just opened tonight and wondering what lies in store. the wine is light in color almost a rose but with a little browning, I think my bottle is a bit long in the tooth the fruit is missing as is noticable aroma, but there is a pleasant after taste and some tannin on the finish. Stands to reason all that is left is the end!
So it is on to bottle #2 Chateau Larmande 96 Deep beautiful color ahh yes, but what is this? the funk of wet cardboard! Oh yes, bottle number two is corked beyond redemption for the evening.
Monte Alpha 2001 Chile delivers not as great as I had hoped for but it will do.
