My second bottle. About 30% cork soakage again. Far more pronounced pettilance in this bottle, but heaps of blueberry on the nose. Perfectly drinkable but odd.

Fun wine to drink. My bottle was good - perhaps 30% cork soakage, but not soaked all the way through. Certainly a dodgy cork though. Anyway, the wine has excessive jammy blueberry fruit, quite sweet in the mouth, mild acidity, fading oak, medium to mild tannins that are drawn out, so they don't bite, but they do last. It's like fruit juice with alcohol and a bit of iced tea, in a very well done blend. I cannot say that it is deep. It is fun.

Our cork wasn't stained to the top, but damn near. The effervescence is present but barely. Glad we drank this now as I suspect it may have turned completly had it been left much longer. Delicious wine, lots of fruit and a nice soft quality, the effervescence showed up after the first glass.
