Wine has some hints of TCA you could almost be forgiven for mistaking as ageing aroma's - forest floor, stinky cheese. However, you notice it overpowering the otherwise lovely ripe white fruit. Still a delicious glass of wine. Just not entirely right.

Nothing of the character (salinity, liquorice, citrus, crushed rock, freshness) of a great Vermentino di Gallura. Nondescript acidity and alcohol. Really disappointed.

At this point, all black fruits, monolithic, heavy, boring on the nose. Palate is slightly better - some graphite and ceder - but tannins too warm and grippy. Disappointed by the lack of freshness.

Horrible, grey cork. Clearly something off.
