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

  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.

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

  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.

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