1998 Chateau Saint-Sulpice

[hotwine]

Vacu-vin'd half the bottle and placed in the fridge overnight, and the wine morphed into something more palatable. Gone is the bovine urine, and the cedar and tobacco have mellowed into a mild minty chocolate. It probably needed time to breathe last night, as well as warm at least 10 degrees from cellar temperature; I'll make a note to open the next bottle a couple of hours before dinner.
