The cork was in prefect condition and when pulled there was a noticeable ripe/cooked prune nose. I tried a small taste and there was very little flavor, a good deal of acidity and a slight background flavor of cooked prune. We drank the last bottle of this in February 2020 and I gave it 93 points.

I wasn't anxious to toss it at that point so I put the cork back in and held it until the next evening, still no change. I don't recall this ever happening to me before on a good bottle like this. Of course we have had corked wine and some mildly off better bottles, but this was not drinkable
