flawed
Saturday, February 5, 2022 - Must have been flawed... we bought this bottle in Oradea, Romania in Summer 2018 because the CT scores were so high (90+). Home in our luggage, cellered since. But geez, it's NOWHERE near these reviews. A harsh, grungy nose, a funk of motor oil, burnt toast, and cigarette butts. Ugh and ugly.
Tell us, that's a flawed bottle, right? We had such high hope all this time...
Well, we'll dump it, and go CRACK SOME OTHER BOTTLE! yeah!!!
Here's to the next one...
No, we'll vacu-vin and try it tomorrow. We'll see...
Be well, all.

All things said, I still miss travelling.
