In broad agreement with Nutty08; this is perhaps one of the worst wines I've tasted, to the point that we struggled to finish a glass each and tossed the rest. TBH, $75 for this bottle was a crime - it simply shouldn't have been released. The nose was distinctly odd, and the wine was quite astringent. No redeeming factors and just the glass gave me a headache.

Really needed some time to open up, but once it did it smoothed out nicely. Dark fruit flavours, white pepper, some clove. Likely getting close to the end of any extra you're going to get out of it.

Apart from the disintegrating cork, this was stunning. The balance of acidity and sweetness was perfect. Lots of cherry.
