Monday, July 23, 2018 - Book Club - Grand Finale (FMIII in the OC): This bottle was gifted to me my a friend for helping them sell a cellar, it belonged to the wine curator for UC Davis. This is the wardens birth year wine and we've been hanging on to it for a special occasion. Tonight was the night, lots of close friends that appreciate wine. It was a low shoulder fill... Should I be worried? The cork was crispy so I decided to us an ah so instead of shredding, filtering, and decant. Pulled straight out. The color is very faded, like a watered down cola. There is a sherry quality to the wine., it's certainly aged,, but a light pure cherry fruit core with a note of white flower. That was surprising. Tannins are completely gone and probably have been for decades. It was drinkable and paired with a Monte Bello and BV GLT for a nice flight of California wine history.
