The wine is already feeling on its decline, mainly from the nose and partly from the color, which should not have this hue considering the vintage I was very looking fw to taste it as it it done on lees in French oak and it was big disappointment. The winery sent me replacement bottle as they believe the wine is OK. Lets see.
