IK,

no ruffled feathers at all. my response and questions to you were sincere, not meant to come off as defensive. i'm trying to learn here and develop my palate and knowledge, and you folks on this board are helping tremendously.

ALSO: as for this wine, something very odd (at least to me) happened. had nearly half the bottle the first night. then put it to bed in the fridge with the vacu-vin. had a glass the next night. wine had mellowed a bit, no major changes. then finished off the bottle last night (after 2 nights w/ the VV) and was i surprised. it seemed like the fruit flavors on the wine were even more prominent than the first night. i've had wines be better, worse or the same on the second day, but i've NEVER had a wine improve on Day 3. anybody else ever experience this phenomenon? anyone know why this might happen?
