This wine is gorgeous. We were worried bc the cork practically disintegrated beneath the wax seal. It was very difficult to get the cork out and we had to strain it before decanting. However, it was worth cellaring for a decade. The wine is light but complex, with a floral nose, bright cherry notes, and fine tannins. Open the bottle, pray you don’t have a crumbly cork, but then linger and enjoy!

This is drinking beautifully now with spicy tannins that aren’t too overpowering but putting it down to age for awhile will likely help to release the subtle fruit. I’m excited to try this again after awhile.

Bright berry flavor above the funky notes, but this still needs some time for the tannins to relax. Try again in 2-3 years.
