Still tight but promises to be a big wine. Tannic but should smooth out in couple of years.

Dark purple with a great nose of cassis, tobacco, leather and a hint of blackberry. Very tight, firm tannins and plenty of acidity. Even with double decanting, it took some time in the glass to open up and was a pleasure to drink. HUGE potential with a few more years.

Quite pungent on the nose with rich, dark berry aromas. Somewhat high in tannins for my taste as a standalone wine, but very well executed.

I thought this Red Bordeaux was amazing. Smooth and satisfying with a great finish.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
