@Martin G Rivard @Paul Treadway, I haven't tasted the most recent vintages of Insignia. Sorry.

Young wines can go dormant for a period, especially big boys like these. I'd say keep the faith that you maybe caught it on a bad day.

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Absolutely amazing after 5 days open. Yea I said 5 days open. — 11 years ago

Grattamacco

Bolgheri Superiore Red Blend 2011

Three days and still vibrant wine. Smooth and a bit of oak. Lovely wine — 12 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2005

Cherries, dates and an aged color that nicely straddles dark cherry and burnt umber. This is probably not as good as the 2002 vintage I had a few days ago, but it's still kick ass. — 10 years ago
