Pulled this from my parents’ stash while over at their house for Easter lunch. Eucalyptus, clove, licorice, plums, and blackberries. Drank nicely and had rounded out well enough to pair nicely with some tender lamb.

Unfortunately I think my friend here was corked. My initial concerns about the state of the cork itself were temporarily dispelled because the nose revealed (what seemed to be) an in-tact wine. However, on the palate there were strong notes of chemicals and Clorox. Bummer.

Best vintage of this wine ever. Perfect balance of tannins and fruit with the expected cassis, tobacco, and leather.
Buy and hold!! Highly recommended!
