Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - I think that this one might have been slightly corked, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and go with a borderline outstanding. Compared to the other 2blondes I had last year this one was much more muted on the nose, had some green stalky flavors and a short finish. Nonetheless, it was a decently weighted wine with softening tannins and a strong black cherry, almost plummy flavor profile. If it was corked I would be able to explain the bottle variance, otherwise I would suggest that if you have these, drink them now, not later.
