Moving some stuff for mature CaliCab dinner last month, I discovered this had a sunken cork, and torn capsule revealed pretty saturated cork. High shoulder. Not something to take to a group dinner, but I stood up and have a shot Fri. Some funk on opening, but cleans up, plummy fruit with just a hint of a roasted note, lots of leather, better than I expected and quite popular. B/B-

From magnum. Auction bottle - mostly tertiary but some lingering fruit remains. Given it’s age+pedigree, an astonishingly successful whim purchase
