Feel bad rating it this low, as I feel it was almost certainly a better wine 5 years ago. Was given to me as a gift 3 years ago and properly stored after that, but maybe not beforehand. Wine had nothing left in 2018. Flat, though not acrid or unpleasant, just dull.

Ugh. Think I left this too long. Cork broke apart upon opening despite careful storage. Wine just had nothing left. My fault for forgetting about this until now but waste of $50

I feel like this wine can't decide if its wants to be a Kistler or a Lewis. With flavours somewhere in between, this medium bodied wine had an average nose with some hints of oak and spices, perhaps even some citrus. But as the night wore on, it just didn't get any more interesting. It had a nice dark colour so I kept waiting for it to open up but it did not. The finish was also pretty average, not particularly long with some of the nicer notes of pear and honey trying to come to the surface but just not making an impact, I felt. Given the quality of the year, I was expecting more from this well stored bottle.
