Had the same issue with the cork as the prior reviewer. It fell apart as I was pulling. The wax is like plastic now. It has dried out. Cut it before you pop. The wine seems a little big to me. It's borderline Rhone like. It lacks some restrain. Enjoyable nonetheless.

The cork nearly disintegrated when I tried pulling it out. Fortunately, there was no ill effects to the wine. Still has all the hedonistic opulence that I love about Carrie's — bold fruit and a enveloping mouthfeel. Even Burg lovers need to take a break from their monastic ways. This is definitely a Boy's (or Girl's) Night Out. Deep and lavish notes of black cherry, black plum, and maraschino coupled with a lingering finish and plenty of acidity. Yummy stuff!

Delicious, full, ripe, unfiltered. Pinot on steroids. Did not dissapoint for the style. It will not get better, so drink up. Powerful fruit with lots of secondary flavors.

Super sweet and unruly on the PnP. Day two a far more approachable with strong spice and deep dark fruits. Was hoping this would tame over the years but no go. Nothing wrong and still very fresh, just not in my wheelhouse.
