  November 17, 2020 - I opened this for Loretta's birthday and had gone to great expense to purchase this bottle at a K&L auction six months ago. It had a couple of wraps of cellophane around the closure, perhaps to prevent the cork from drying out. If so, it didn't do much good because the cork disintegrated into smithereens when I tried to pull it out and I had to decant and filter the remnants out. What a mess!
  Surprising, the wine was delicious, but I suspect that it was past its prime given that I've heard that 10 years is perfect for this grower. Nevertheless, we both enjoyed the cornucopia of flavors as it went very well with filet mignon with a wine reduction sauce, potatoes and broccoli rabe.
