Into neck. Ah-so needed but cork pretty solid. Color shows some bricking but no orange. Plenty of fruit on the nose. On the palate black, blue and red fruits. Silky smooth. Some cedar and Oak.

Another fantastic bottle. Wonderful Bordeaux blend, old Bordeaux style. Layers of black, red and blue fruits. Some sweet Oak. Hints of underbrush and cedar.

2 bottles, both with soaked but stable cork; no leakage. Color showing bricking but not orange. A fully mature wine, still at is peak. Lovely black, blue and red fruits. Some sweet Oak and very modest Eucalyptus. 20 second finish. Near silky smooth and surprisingly little sediment.

Great mature Califrornia Cabernet, although not really tasting all that mature. Crushed mineral, black cherry, tobacco, leather notes combine with a silky mouthfeel and fine tannins. As it opened, violets and olives became more apparent. Very Bordeaux like - in fact, the blind guesses were firmly divided between late 1990's Right Bank Bordeaux and early 2000's California Cabernet based blend. This seems very alive and could easily continue at peak for another 5 years.
