It's only wine but I like it
It's only wine but I like it

A good CdR with typical herb/spice infused fruit yet I was a bit underwhelmed. Very little aromatically and I found the palate a bit austere and angular. No obvious signs of cork taint (eg wet carboard, smelly socks) but it could have been present sufficiently to mute the wine - the insidious nature of TCA. In any case, take my notes/score with a grain of salt as I expect this was a less than pristine bottle. Tasted Mar 2022.
