Was decent the first night, corked the second night when I went back for the last glass. It might have been slightly corked the first night, masked by being a little too cold.
Will give it another try, perhaps an earlier vintage.

Bought one with some hesitation for $10 on closeout at a local independent shop--concerned about age, but CT notes sounded promising, given the price. Medium gold; mature chard nose, hint of oak; attack was appealing but flavor of oxidation appeared on the finish. Left enough to try the next night--certainly no better, perhaps a bit of decline. Overall disappointing--including the vendor for selling it--and definitely not a re-buy. Screwcap. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is drinkable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
