For two days, I tried to power through it, but I knew it the moment I pulled the seemingly perfrct cork: TCA. I tried gentle decantling, pulling a vacuum, vigors decanting, and pulling a hard vacuum; all to no avail. Such a shame, at least I still have one bottle of this vintage remaining the cellar. I may try it soon to write a decent tasting note.

Delicious. Fragrant of bright and full bodied red fruits, flavors tinged with cinnamon, a touch of sous bois, the presence of oak/ vanilla, and a long, lingering, tart finish. Well balanced, still youthful, but definitely in a drinking window.
Rated 2 on a scale of -1 to 3.

Great bottle of wine. Wasn't expecting the smokiness but still enjoyed it. Needed some time to open up and ease up. Will seal and try it again tomorrow.

PnP. Medium bright ruby. Airy nose of red fruits, some blood orange, and some Burgundian "stink", which seems to blow off. On the palate this is medium weight and silky smooth; no tannins to resolve. Lovely wine - at peak, though could keep another year or two.
