Possibly corked. Very astringent. Didn’t really smell like wet cardboard but could be heat damaged. Very tart and really flat. Nothing like how it tasted when I purchased it. A pretty unpleasant drinking experience. Sadly, when I tried this last year, it was presenting the same way.

Big muscular wine. Plenty of structure to stand up for some time in the cellar. Nevertheless, it’s drinking pretty fantastic right now. Decant for an hour or two.

Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, spice, and slight vanilla. Spice, red currant, and black currant on the palate.
