This had signs of seepage (part of a mixed lot with more desirable wines) so low expectations. Yep, shrill, caramelly. I went to backup bottle, but a few hours later tried again before I dumped into vinegar crock. Actually this was showing much better- black cherry fruit, smoke, though still a hint of maderization. C- on opening, B- with air. I held off and tried again next night, but dead by then, and into crock.

Clipped, pruney with some maderized notes, not sure if this is cooked (drop of seepage at top edge of cork) or just OTH. C-
