Srabkin90 Does not like this wine: 85 points
September 22, 2022 - Med intensity nose of blackberry, sour cherry and ripe black fruit. Unfortunately, the flavor notes did not follow suit. Strong oak, unpleasant earthiness and very subtle fruit undertones.
Revisited this bottle after the event, and even after 3 hours of air time, not much change. It opened up a bit and some of the oak has disappated, but still nothing notable. This was a rather flabby wine.
I would not sip again. -
