I initially thought this wine was oxidised; it's quite an orange/brown colour in the glass. I went back to it an hour later and it had changed utterly; quite honeyed on the nose, and a palate of baked apples and quince. Nice acidity and a bit of salinity. Very persistent. Overall, pretty pleasant but I won't be hanging on to the remaining bottles for much longer.

TCA. Very disappointing; you can taste the potential beneath the corked smell and flavours.
