This has some remaining life in it, but it's past its peak for sure. The fruit is mature and somewhat tired (but I liked it that way). Still some meaningful acidity, albeit not anywhere close to being energetic and young, which is as expected. Secondary notes are limited, however, and the finish is not particularly long. At $27 I paid, this is still a bargain; I'd buy it again.

This was an amazing bottle of wine. Opened with sous vide and flash grilled steaks. It still had a lot of youthful acid that gave way to mellow sweet tannins. An affordable bottle of csv that matured into a gem. Last bottle and I'm sad. The cork was wet almost half the way up.

The cork disintegrated in major ways. The other bottle I pulled was just fine (see a separate TN).
