A few of the previous notes mentioned this wine is getting to the end of its life. I think I bought this one from Costco in 2007 for around $10. Pleased to find the wine is drinking well and quite tasty.
Cork broke while opening, managed to fish out the bottom of the cork with a monopol.
Power decant and pour.
Blueberries and currants on the nose. Wine is a classic medium Garnet. Dark fruit. Tannins muted, but still present. Some sediment. Best on the second day.
Not bad for a $10 cab.

This is my last bottle. Not as good as the previous bottle I had. While not bad, this one is really on the decline. Drink up now.

Super silky tannins! Loads of vanilla. Great midweek QPR
