As soon as we popped this this bottle for a friend's birthday dinner, we could tell it was faulted - smelled and tasted like nail polish remover which didn't blow off. I noticed a ring of dark sediment/debris in the neck, so I'm guessing the cork failed. Bought from the tasting room about two years ago and stored horizontally in a dark, cool cellar. Obelisco makes tasty wine but I've had a significantly higher rate of bad bottles from them than other producers. I brought a backup bottle with me for that reason, and unfortunately I needed it.

Friends and I had this at the Woodinville tasting room on 8/3/19. It had a deep, rich nose of black currant, blackberry, toast, and spice aromas. The palate was rich, full and dry with flavors that followed the nose.
