750mL bottle drunk 8/2/21. Found this one on the shelf, so oxidation is going to be heavy. And indeed, in the nose, it is. Deep, strong, rich, copper color with a quickly fading, white head. Caramel, madeira-like oxidation and strong yeast presence giving heavy fruitiness, earth and strong mineral. Not as much red wine-like clarity as the 2000 version and even less oxidation, though I guess the 2000 bottle we had was cared for better? Orange candy, citrus, rich candi sugar and no alcohol or flaw. Still smells good, just obviously a bit oxidized. In the mouth it's soft, malty, pretty well-attenuated, but with ample residual sugar for decadence. Red wine is light, adding gentle acidity while candi sugar/caramel is strong/dominant. It remains sweet but with enough acidity throughout that despite its oxidation it's still enjoyable in a candi-like barleywine sort of way.
