TN: 1966 Dow VP:
Upon decanting:
Brick reddish brown in color, looking fully mature. On the palate, it's medium sweet with raspberry notes. There's a little alcohol heat, but not much. It's excellent right now. I give it 94 points. Will post more after service tonight.
12 hours after decanting:
The wine is not as pleasant as it had been upon decanting. The fruit has dissapated a bit and the alcohol is more evident. I have two more bottles of this wine and I will not decant them until right before service.
All the best,
John
