Stopped w Nomacork™, which probably hasn't done this any favora in the cellar.
Purple w a ruby edge.
Nose is of muddy, black berry and plum with a nutty/oxidative note. While there is balance d acid, the flavors lack freshness and echo the nitty notes in the nose. I wouldnt call this bottle faulty, but maybe compromised?

Pairs nice with bold cheddar and steak. Smooth on the palate with a peppery finish.
