A little from my prior experience with this wine. Could be I tried it too. Also, this is the first bottle......so, there could have been some shipping issue. Will see what happens down the road with the next bottle.

This was not a good bottle of wine. I have had two other bottles over the last year plus that were spectacular. It could not have gone downhill this fast on its own. I attribute the experience to the cork. It broke in half, and the lower half was saturated. I did have 2024 down as the last year of my drink window. One bottle left.....so will be able to test my theory. I have had this kind of cork problem an numerous occasions with good California reds, but have rarely had this kind of cork problem with Red Bordeaux wines.

Just like earlier bottles......terrific. The bottle was open for about one and a quarter hours before dinner.
