Community Tasting Note

flawed
Sunday, April 4, 2021 - Ah-so pushed cork directly into the bottle (doh!). Wine was good/drinkable but this bottle was clearly a bit off. A touch oxidized and didn’t exhibit the freshness of the last bottle. Even a bit off, would score 92

I read your prior TN by the way. Hope you will be lucky.
Best regards from Spain,
