Community Tasting Note

flawed
Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - Brownish hue, heat, and funk. Drank a half glass and then vacuum sealed. Next day it had fully turned. This was my first Nicora...I guess bad luck getting a corked bottle right out of the gates.

I wouldn't think heat damage because the weather was cool when the wine was shipped and it has been in my cellar for the last few weeks. Either way, it is always disappointing to have a bad bottle.
