Incredibly well balanced - garnet/ruby color with coffee in the nose and chocolate plum cardmom- no hint of Rutherford dust ... really unique - just impressive

This wine was Quite acidic tonight. I love these old cabernets but I think that the cork failed on this and I do not hold the wine against this reaction.
The nose remains fresh and quite vibrant. The flavors are all in check but th acidity was totally unbalanced. Citrus, lemons and then after the reaction to all of this the wine delivered some mild fruit. Slightly rotted cherry and some cooked cherries.

Too bad
Cork was powder and wine was high oxidized.
DOA.
