December 24, 2020 - Cork in better condition with this bottle. Once again, fantastic. Still has fruit along with earth, leather, and funk. Lots of funk.

April 20, 2020 - Similar to the last bottle in November but not quite as good. Again, opaque ruby. Nose of plum, campfire, damp earth, iron, a bit of vanilla and leather. Black and blue fruits with a distinct toasted back tea note that many have noted. The fruit was a bit over shadowed by the more astringent elements of the wine when compared to my earlier bottle.

April 18, 2020 - Cork shredded again (2 of 2 bottles) but this time wine was past peak. Drinkable and enjoyable, but not what it should have been.

April 2, 2020 - Cork was soaked through and fell apart upon opening. No fears as this was another exceptional bottle. We've had 2 in the last 2 months and they've been a huge pleasant surprise.
As before, plenty of funk with dark and red fruit, black tea notes. Blind guess would have been 80's Mondavi Reserve Cab.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 7, 2020 - Wow! I would guess a very aged California Cab and not an Australian cab. Red fruit, black tea, leather, and wonderful funkiness.
