Cork was literally soggy at the top. Yet it was somehow drinkable. The fruit was minimal, but there was some nice tannic structure and earthiness that made it strangely compelling despite the obvious flaws. Ended up not finishing the bottle, but kept a glass at the table and nursed it.

This bottle seemed off to me, so calling it flawed. It actually was quite drinkable, but the fruit was pretty muted. There was a little mold on the top of the cork, indicating a little leakage. My sense is the wine we drank was not at its best.

From memory. Feels like a medium bodied Cabernet, with old world elegance and balance to it.

Decanted for a few hours. Floral nose. A bit alcoholic on the palate, turning to slightly spicy. Very slurpable.

Lovely full body, fairly big, spicy. Smoky on the nose. A little over-acidic, not quite perfectly balanced, but close.
