Community Tasting Note

  March 25, 2023 - Clear, medium ruby fading to a clear rim.
  
  This wine is quite evolved and really quite disappointing.
  
  Bouquet is heavily aged and dusty.
  
  Tannins are just barely hanging on.
  
  Palate shows lots of wood, tart cranberry and muddy fruit.
  
  Drink now.

  I bought mine on release and have stored it properly. That night explain the difference, or it might be simple bottle variation. Wine can be fascinating, but also maddening.
