Fill level was a bit low, and when the capsule was removed, there were signs of seepage. The color was sound; not too dark. Wonderfully complex plate of ripe orchard fruits, florals and some tropical fruits. The finish showed a bit of softness; I felt that the sweetness in this bottle overwhelmed the acids. Could have used a bit more energy and zest. Still, quite enjoyable.

A bit of mold under the capsule, cork saturated almost to the top, came out easier than I was expecting. Made me worry this could be a bad bottle. Luckily no!
Deep dark yellow but not darkening into orange/red. Sweet body, brown sugar sweetness on the nose and taste. RS is noticeable but balanced well by acid throughout. Rich robust body from front-palate through mid-palate. Sweet fruit jam/syrup flavors on the finish (lemon, orange, peach, tangerine). Stood well to a meal of lamb & brussels sprouts with bacon.

TCA. Strong/disgusting TCA infection going on with this bottle. Absolutely wretched.
