Cork failure, broke apart. Oak cork nose. Deep dense purple. Burst oak cork. Past prime, no fruit. My rating 2/10. Shared with Mike Condon and Amy DeJong.

Deep garnet and brick red. Layered nose with tomato leaves, red cherry tomatoes, red cherries and damp leaves. Lots of red tones and greenery and a little medicinal. Moderate tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. Medium finish too. Drink now.

Served to me blind. I guessed Cabernet or Cab dominant blend, California, and 20-30 years out in that order. Bingo. Garnet color, sweet red fruit with mint and cinnamon on the nose, and cherry and leather on the palate. The second glass was better than the first which means it rewarded an approximately one-hour decant. Great showing.

Bill's Summer Garden Offline (Vancouver, BC): Mature and developed aromas of red fruits and leather with fully resolved tannins and a soft and smooth mouthfeel. There’s ample acidity and while there was a good dose of oak here, it was well integrated and not dominating. This was really nice to sip on while listening to Jeff Beck. Excellent.
