Sad to say this has gone bad. Not stored properly, baked. Not to say it wouldn't have been a nice wine.

47690 was stinky, 47711 is not. But, it's oxidized, thin and has no finish. It's a completely different color and like a different wine. Sad, synthetic cork with no obvious issues.

Kinda dirty in a really appealing way at $11.79/btl wholesale. 65 year old vines, full malo but not buttery, stinky

Moldy cork & a little funky but just fine after time in the glass. Fine for brown butter sage pork chops but not particularly memorable.
