Slightly corked.

    11/12/23, 6:51 PM - We have enjoyed a fair number of Myriad wines over the last couple years and it has not been a problem. Don't in general come across many corked bottles. Thankfully. It was very lightly corked, but flawed, I noticed it, said nothing and my wife noticed it right away. Very subtle though.

    We have more and I am not worried about other bottles.

But recently have crossed with three that were quite similar in a very light corked condition, Fruit and finish were where not where they should be. I can still see it being missed by some.

92 points
92+ because I think it can still improve. It is not a big in your face wine which is why it has charm. Was well liked in, a wine group, with a Spain vs Italy tasting theme.

Looking through the latest notes nudged me to pop the cork now. Secondary notes are prominent. Its a very good wine and glad we did. Not sure how this gets better.

    4/19/23, 6:28 PM - Initial comments were bare bones. Expanding - I felt the fruit was showing ripe flavors with out the supporting structure to go on for a long time imo. Acid was ok but tannins were gone. Thus, the wonder of where it goes with more age.
