  September 19, 2023 - Another somewhat “ugly” auction purchase with a disintegrating label. The first bottle of three was corked leading to less than high expectations.
  
  Clean cork and easy pull let me pour this down a Glasvin Aromatic to reveal an evolved brick red color (apologies as the bottle was coming out of the fridge hence the frosted glass). As always with my current setup, everything was muted coming out of fridge temperature so I had to look at it and wonder for a good twenty minutes.
  
  After some air and coming out to proper temperature, the nose is expensive/expansive! Beautiful complex spices, some ripe red berries, bramble, earth, a hint of beef bouillon and whiff of salinity. For a short second, I thought I was on to something great. As intoxicating as the nose was, the palate fell short. No fault here but showing some shortcomings: tart cherry and cranberry, dusty dry tannins and short finish. There is lip-smacking pleasure to drinking this as the high acidity and red crunchy berries take over but there is no depth, complexity or finish.
