Clos du Roy is a beautiful spot, Ridley! I visited it a few years ago.

@Riddley Walker Fantastic! Cheers.

Wish I could visit it too one day! Even if it may not improve the wine itself, visiting the producers and vineyards really helps to understand it better 👍🏻 @Peter van den Besselaar

Brett?

No. The cork smelled of TCA after being pulled, but the wine itself played tricks on us: sometimes there was a whiff of TCA, but then it disappeared, only to reappear later. It did not help that the wine was reductive and sometimes reduction overpowered everything else. However: 1) the cork taint did not become more prominent over time; 2) it did not linger on the palate in the aftertaste. I was sharing this bottle with two friends: one said that the wine was 100% corked and marred by it, and the other was convinced that it wasn’t. I’m on the fence. It still was a beast of a wine though. @MaJ CappS

@Riddley Walker Ugh. I had 3 bad bottles in a row at a tasting with my old wine pal. Sadly, I had smuggled them all back in a suitcase from Chile, and these were all garage type wines.. TCA on one, Brett on the other two.
