4/8/2024 - Al-Vino wrote: NRGood Cork but bad bottle? Barnyard nose never seemed to dissipate with any amount of air and the finish was good but nothing like prior bottles. Hoping this wine hasn’t suddenly gone over the cliff. Curious to see what the remaining bottle tastes like. |

3/13/2024 - Al-Vino Likes this wine: NRUnable to rate fairly since I believe this wine is in a dumb state. Hoping it will lose its rather bright finish with time in the cellar. Has a terrific nose which gives me hope that this will come together in a few years. |
