For $25, this was awesome. I wasn't sure about a 20 year old Mendocino wine, especially since the cork wasn't looking so good and it pretty much fell apart upon opening. But the wine smelled wonderful. Leathery, musty, earthy. Very well balanced. I'm sure Sally Ottoson didn't intend this to be cellared for so long, but it has held up extremely well. I wish I had more of these!
