Sunday, April 30, 2023 - 90 minute decant. Medium bodied with medium- acidity and tannins. Cedar and leather predominate on the nose and palate, underpinned by dark fruit. Tart, medium finish. Third bottle of three that were gifted. All three were marred by cork that immediately crumbled to bits and pieces and required near-surgery to remove and filtration afterwards. While the wine was pleasant enough, food friendly and a lists at a good PQR, the cork issue alone would deter me from buying any on my own.
