Unforunately, it was difficult to review this wine as it appeared to be TCA tainted from a bad cork, and also seemed to be a little too rusty in color for a relatively young wine.  So the wine was probably not stored properly in it's youth, and also had a bad cork.  Nevertheless, I think the wine itself had a lot of promise.  I chelated out a lot of the TCA with polyethylene film, and the wine drank nicely at that point.  Jammy, lush and a nice finish.  I will hold off on scoring the wine until I try a 2nd bottle, but I anticipate a score in the 3.5-4 star range.
