Monday, January 16, 2023 - Drank one of three bottles I picked up at an auction. This one had mold on the capsule as was declared by the auction house . The other two were in perfect condition. I removed the capsule and the top was covered with mold, an obvious leaker. I removed the cork with an ahso and it was saturated with a half inch of mold on the top. The aroma was typical MRC! The color had a slight bricking on the outermost ring in the glass, as expected . The tannins were still slightly noticeably but had a interesting chocolaty flavor. The fruit was less than I had experienced on other MRC’s but the overall wine was delicious . I think the leakage had some effect on the fruit of the wine, making this a less than perfect example of this fine wine. I look forward to comparing notes on the next bottles.
