The composite cork allowed this wine to get a little funky. While I would not say that the wine was affected by TCA, but I would say that this wine should have been consumed a couple of years ago. The fruit did not evolve into a favorable state, and this may be due to the cork that was used. These corks are not meant for wines that are stored for more than 1-2 years.

Already showing signs of oxidation. Fruit is still bright, but lacking concentration. Drink now, this one is not going 2 more years.
