I rolled the dice on some older St. Innocent bottles that were up for auction the other year. I was pretty much expecting nothing, and the first one I opened was completely shot, smelling like pure nail polish remover.
I opened this on a whim today…and I was pleasantly surprised! Right off the bat, I was shocked at how well the color had held up.
Most of the fruit is gone at this point. On the nose, there’s some wet earth, a bit of a mushroom-y thing going on, and just a hint of spice. On the palate, there’s still a tiny bit of freshness hanging on, but with some obvious aged notes. Lots of black tea, with maybe just a bit of orange peel and a super faint pomegranate note. Seems to have come back to life a bit with some air. Honestly pretty enjoyable!
