I rarely come across badly corked wines these days (it was carefully cellared), unfortunately this was one of them. Putting up a rating only to highlight that quality control should be better in a $30 wine.

Behind the wet cardboard you could still detect significant cedar and ruined cherry elegance.

Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage Port 2015

Helfrich Gewurztraminer 2010, Ac Alsace

Still Fantastic and holding after all this time, but softer and not as perfumed

A great wine

Heredad De Urueña Santo Terroir Tempranillo 2012, Vino De La Tierra De Castilla Y León

Romain Duvernay Vacqueyras 2009

Still ripe, full, and balanced but drink up.

Graham Beck Brut Rosé 2011, Wo Western Cape, Méthode Cap Classique

Bel Echo Pinot Noir By Clos Henri 2012

Firestone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Santa Ynez Valley

Raats Original Chenin Blanc Unwooded 2016

Darting Dürkheimer Nonnengarten Gewürztraminer Kabinett 2013, Deutscher Prädikatswein

Text book, a bit restrained but still complex with excellent length. Not a juice bomb, not a floral bouquet, but extremely appealing, wants you to drink all in one sitting
