What a lovely wine! I put this away 9 years ago(2014), talk about patience!? Back in the day Woot Wine would promote Peter Wellington wines and I've tasted my share. But this!? Wow, just wow... I think of all the highly prized wines selling for $60+ and this would slay most of them. Fruit nose, with integrated tannins, good structure, very soft. I suspect it's getting close to its end. I'm so glad I waited, really nice finish. If you have some in your cellar, drink up through 2025.
Check out my cork, lots of residue, which I like to see on my cork. 😉

Not the best pairing with turkey, but this is coming along nicely. Just seems to be emerging from a bit of a slumber since it was a bit closed down at first and opened up with some air. Starting to show some secondary notes but not yet fully into the teenage years.

Delicious. Well balanced Cab Sauvignon. I didn't take down notes, but just remember enjoying the wine .
