Community Tasting Note

flawed
Saturday, December 23, 2023 - The cork seemed perfect but this wine is unmistakably oxidized, tastes like sour sherry. Smells like delicious caramel but undrinkable.

The '19 wasn't quite as good, and of course this isn't drinkable. I mark a wine flawed if the cork was bad or the bottle wasn't stored properly, but if this is how the vintage tastes then I feel like we have to rate what's in the bottle. Sometimes Santa gives you a lump of coal.
