This wine was from a 50ml screw capped bottle. I don't know where it came from, but it had been sitting in the door of our kitchen fridge for a decade and finally, I decided that we needed the room. :-) It actually showed quite well. It had a ruby/orange color to it, clear and bright. The nose was interesting with candied cherries and a slight medicinal quality to it. On the palate, this is viscous. Sweet cherries with a bit our a sour candy too. Slight depth. Long finish. A little (which is all we had), went a long way. This would be a tough food match but maybe a small piece of dark chocolate. Given the bottle size, storage and age, all in all, this was a very pleasant experience.
