Upon opening …<\/strong> Cork has wine one-third up, but the colour of the wine is good: red with a little bricking, slight orange tinge, but nothing extreme – this wine is in good shape. It’s a blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (42%) and Malbec (8%). \"Clos<\/p>\n

NOSE:<\/strong>  Cherry and blood orange with spice and smoke.<\/p>\n

TASTE:<\/strong>  Still a lot of grit from the tannins, lots of dark fruit and smoke with a little cinnamon and spice to back it up.<\/p>\n

1.5 hrs later …<\/strong> Notes of cough syrup and Halls and NyQuil, but all with that cherry undertone.<\/p>\n

3 hrs later …<\/strong> Dusty and oaky palate, the fruit is beginning to dry out though, but the nose is still appealing and alluring.<\/p>\n

4+ hrs later …<\/strong> Most of the fruit is gone, the wine is very dusty; but the nose continues to hint at something interesting. Think I’m going to give this an overnight wait-and-taste.<\/p>\n

22 hours later …<\/strong> This wine held overnight quite well – it seems to be in some sort of stasis. It really hasn’t changed from the four-plus hour mark. Not sure how much longer it’s going to hold. But it was still drinking as good as it did 22 hours ago.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line …<\/strong> It was better in its first two hours; but that the wine stayed pretty static after the three\/ four hour mark is a pretty good testament to the way the wine will continue to age. Though I would just drink it pretty soon and within the first few hours of opening. Cheers<\/p>\n
