Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 19, 2020 - <cork rant> My second wine in a row where the cork disintegrated and the remainder fell back into the wine. I basically lost a glass of wine from cork bits, plus fishing out smaller bits from remaining glasses. It pisses me off. <cork rant> Once I could finally settle down into a glass, it was really very, very good. Similar notes as last time: powerful aroma, black raspberry and black current, licorice and an unidentifiable savory note. Still lots of structure with acid and tannin to shape the fruit; for all the sweet fruit at entry, the finish is quite dry.
