  No Score. This bottle was from another former RM winemaker's cellar and had a mid shoulder ullage from a less than pristine cork. The occasion was a third winemakers birthday, (her husband). The wine at 12% alcohol had plenty of acidity and was still drinkable although far past its prime. Would it have done with a better cork, definitely. The debate about lower alcohols, higher acidity, and lower pH's versus over ripe syrupy fruit bombs that at most have five-seven years of aging potential is over for me. Maybe 12% is too low and a couple of degrees more ripeness would be better but that is all that is needed. Get flavor at 22-24 brix not 28-30.
