Top Notes For
Tracy Hall

Deep blue and black fruit and nice thick mouthfeel. Balance and really good structure. TCA. Cork is agglomerate with disk on each end. For the life of me I don’t understand the thought process on this type of cork. You are taking a chance of your wine with a slice of cork? Just go with agglomerate and leave the disks off! Agglomerate have come a long way as far as taint. This is the second wine this year that I’ve had that is corked with this type of cork. Good wine ruined by bad cork, so I can’t rate it fairly. SDWC
