This bottle was corked. Nose of dog sleeping on a cardboard box in a rainstorm. Palate of a baileys from a shoe. I wanted to cry as I poured this $120 bottle into the sink. Instead I got drunk on some lagavulin. Lagavulin never gets corked.
Had this bottle paired with an episode of Brooklyn 99. It was heavy on the nose of cherries, strawberries and lonliness. I drank it by myself because I don't live with my wife even though we love each other a lot and want to live together. The pallette is a bowl of fruit and oak. Absolutely delish. Especially mixed with my tears of sadness and angst. Drink this wine and be happy.

Seems to have lost much of what I enjoyed about this wine in the past. Probably past due to drink
