Bought one for 14 from Costco just now. Natural cork. Dark purple; reticent nose and body with no improvement over 2-hour meal or an additional 24h under vacuvin. At 5+ years from vintage and a WE92 plus plenty of time to breathe, I expected more. Not a re-buy--and another non-restaurant wine. Quality, price, age: Drinkable+.
