Bought it this way. Yes, yes I know 😉 But to be honest, I store many bottles and age them in a wine fridge to make sure i don’t gamble too much. And I really don’t care much for the Label. Now you mention it, maybe I should.

Yeah, 1990 was about worst period for cork in French wines. Too bad.

That sucks.
A couple mentions of bret on CellarTracker but no TCA.
I have a very specific sense memory that always indicates it for me (besides the obvious lack of fruit). It always reminds me of the indoor mausoleum my grandparents and great aunts/uncles were entombed. Weird but it’s very recognizable every time.

Me sad for you too.
