Really don't know what to think. Is it an off bottle?....unique flavor profile?........has it gone bad?.....I have no idea. Tastes flawed but can't pin point why. Wreaks of smoky plum and finishes with apple skins. Disjointed and just plain out weird.

Medicinal. Cork broke and the top is sealed in wax. Almost certain it’s a bad bottle rather than not holding up. Have one more so will see.

Big, jammy Washington state merlot. A bit overshadowed by a Pride Mountain cabernet but quite good.

Has a lot of big flavors, even some substantial tannin, but it's all out of balance.

Magic marker and wet old wood with a tarry nose of dark fruit. Big, sweet and unctuous though stated EtOH of 13.4%. Not quite acid enough to balance the richness. Not my style at all.
