Cork sealed and a quality cork. Minimal sediment. I have had this in my cabinet for about 4 years. I've never really tried a Rutherglen wine before so was interested in this one. Unusual nose and this very fruity nose carried through to the palate. Very unusual flavour coming through - almost medicinal but not quite. I want to say iodine but I can't quite pinpoint the flavour in amongst the fruit. Long finish. Nice but the unusual flavour was quite distracting.

Lovely pepper on the nose, lighter fruit but plenty to carry through the spiciness. Long finish. Classic Rutherglen
