This was the second bottle from an auction shipment; cork was brittle and broke because I didn’t use my Duran. Initially this was shy on the nose — hints of red cherries and nice work leather notes with pop and pour. The next day, the red fruit was present and was a pleasant surprise in this nearly 30 yo wine. Just past its prime for me. Fun experience, though.

SO GOOD. Incredibly well stored bottle, still hittin on every level. Tannins pulled back and we’ll integrated. Refined fruit and savory herbs. Delicious. Drank at Crown Shy, good corkage there

Soy sauce; bought on auction and disappointing. Teased at fruit after pop and pour then promptly disappeared.

Last bottle.
This is still a healthy bottle.
Clearly with age, but fruit still present.
Better than a lot of the current over extracted CaliCabs.
