Thursday, April 8, 2021 - Appearance - clear, mm plus, ruby.

Nose - the half a skunkiness about it. I won’t say corked, but something a bit past prime. If I was served it I would send back. When I pulled the cork I smelled it but thought it would blow off. It has not. Alcohol eye burn. Blackberry fruit. Cooked.

Palate - better on palate but not great. Ripe fruit. Acidity is medium, get black and red fruits, plums, berries, cassis, juicy, tannins are medium and emerge after you swallow. Finish is medium plus. Alcohol feels medium. Body is medium plus.

Maybe with a vinturi it will air out the funk? The label makes you thin you are getting a wine that is more special. Marketing.
