Big Wines (Casa Gill): Beautiful nose with cola, olive, musty red fruit. Very dense and deep. Great on the palate with loads of fruit, still visible acidty, some orange notes and soft medicinal herbs on finish.

Tasted blind. A bit shaken up from a car ride and slightly murky and brown. One sniff and I'm thinking 60s-70s era Rioja. Immediate rust and volatility on the nose, some sweet old dried strawberry scents, plus some cooked vegetable and decay. Palate is surprisingly punchy with a sweet acidity that is actually pleasant. There's some underbrush and brown sugar to round it out. Started off dreadful, improved to the point where everyone liked it.

10/28/2022 - StainedGlass Does not like this wine:
Corked. It was sadly gone. Cork was fully saturated and robbery.
Moslty vinegar.
