We were able to push the cork in effortlessly. Wine was unfortunately defective. We did get hints of what it used to be but overshadowed by a strong smell of cauliflower, likely as a result of incorrect storage. Despite that, the palate revealed some still-present tannins and a nice acidic structure that indicates the wine might be drinkable per se.

Darker fruited and almost youthful, there were great notes of graphite on the nose. Not overly thin with a bit of body left on the palate, the fruit was there, but presented a little musky. Still relatively bright on the finish. While it’s possibly over the hill, it’s not too far removed from the peak and is drinking well.

I'm guessing fairly representative of the vintage. A light wine at peak with a few years of life left. Orange at the rim with a brown/purple core. Lightly perfumed with mineral notes. Drank beautifully. Not much glycerin but well balanced and completely integrated. Reasonably long finish. No real flaws. Truly enjoyable.
