You're dead and out of this world

You'll never get a second chance
Plan all your moves in advance
Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead
Stay dead and out of this world

– Norma Tanega

Encountering this wine is like finding an echo of what once was - a ghost of caramelized fruits and ancient berry jam. It's a relic, void of vitality yet not repulsive; it's drinkable, but merely a shadow, stripped of its once-lauded elegance and intricate layers (this is my speculation).

The second bottle stands tall - alive, kicking, and brimming with flavour. It's not a puzzle of complexity but rather a straightforward chorus of red fruits, plum jam, and spiced berries confiture. It's a bit reserved, yet it delivers a flavorful punch with a persistence that lingers on the palate.
