A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This wine came from the orphan stash discovered in my garage, having been there in uncontrolled conditions for over 20 yrs. Absolutely no signs of oxidation or going round-the-bend, other than the deeply brown color. Shoulda been totally shot. It was not and in beautiful condition. I would guess the RS saved this wine.
