Cork broke, but no harm done; the wine was still a deep opaque purple, no bricking or fading. Pure Cabernet nose, fairly fresh and primary. Same on the palate, surprisingly unevolved. Tasty, if fairly simple. Good start to Quarantine Days, all told.

Wonderful wine, secondary notes of cedar and pencil lead, very fine tannins appeared and faded, the wine changed quickly in the glass, excellent bouquet.

After the last bottle, which was corked, I decided that we needed to get to this final bottle right away. I popped this and it was clear that it was not corked, but there was a raisin-y, but the fruit was rich and deep. Hmmmm. Which way to go? Was this oddly flawed as well? Or was it deceptively complex, esoteric wine that was enjoyable even while watching Glee? What the hell--option 2. thedrunkencyclist.com

Corked. Not terribly corked, but corked nonetheless.
