  November 11, 2023 - One of the more mature bottles of wine I have had recently, the capsule and cork of this bottle were a moldy mess. The Durand got the cork out intact, but it was fully saturated through, barely held together and surely would've had significant seepage if kept for much longer. Thankfully, there was no sign of cork taint and this wine had a lovely bouquet of cedar, leather, sous bois, and blackberry liqueur. The palate was similarly primary and secondary with the fruit, while present, taking a back seat to the soy, dark chocolate, and green herbs. While I enjoyed this wine, I'm not sure I'd be a buyer at the current price point.
