But... Nearly 6 years since the last CT (allbeit 95 point) note.
This one was 88-89 at pop n pour... Full body. Lots of sediment. Interesting, not that beautiful bricked color imagery common in 30+ year old bottles.
Came together with each sip. We have one more in the racks. We'll let that aerate for 30-40 and it'll likely start out as a 91 pointer, and possibly seek up from there!
The last sips were the best. Alas, lots of late bottle sediment. Should have stood it up for a day, first.
Great w pasta and shrooms.
We like it!

Incredible wine, tastes like a fine old Bordeaux with defined terroir coming thru. Plenty of black cherry fruit prominent with well balanced acid. Nice chocolate notes on the finish. An overall very pleasant experience. Paired with multiple wood fired pizzas.

Downed most of the bottle over dinner. She was very flavorful and has held up well.
Best 2nd day counter-top overnight glass of wine we've ever had.
So these might even have a little more life left...

Amazing old cab at Aureole in Vegas. Probably the only place in the country you can get a bottle.
