1986 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico
See, this is what happens when you have kids and leave your wine collection unattended for six or seven years.
This once-probably-quite-good wine is a long time past peak. Although the aroma stayed appealing, a taste last night was cringe-inducing. After letting it breath for a day, and getting it off its sediment, I find it a tart and mildly drinkable. Eliz will have nothing to do with it.
On the plus side, at twenty years, it's the oldest bottle (besides the Ports) in the basement. Maybe I'll have better luck with the '88s.

Pugliese 2000 Sangiovese
Dipping into the wine cellar, I had a moment of despair catching a vinegary aroma when I opened this bottle, but it wound up being quite tasty and smooth. I've got much older Long Island wines down there - wish me luck!

Hanna 2001 Two Ranch Red
A special over at Edel Wine, this Sonoma County Red is the wine of the moment at our house. Very rich and flavorful!
