Possibly flawed. This has been stored at our ski club for the past few years and can’t vouch for the conditions. A very off smell at the beginning, almost stewed. Not a typical flawed smell. On the palate somewhat medicinal and the fruit seemed pruney. The off flavors seemed to disappear over a few hours. I saved a bit to try tonight and see what is going on with it.
I don't quite understand the ratings others have given. For a $25 bottle of wine this is a great find. It has a medium body and medium length. Very nice fruit showing and it will only get better in a few years.
