  April 29, 2023 - Caberent Based Lunch (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Small glass tasted blind. Clearly New World, but in the elegant style from a few decades back that is tough to find any more. Good weight and length, this is wonderfully balanced and textured with enough acidity to keep it fresh.

  January 22, 2023 - Cork in great shape, hardly showing any age at all. In the glass, dark with some bricking, it doesn’t look tired.
  
  However, Overwhelming smell and taste of mildew, and not the good “oh, this is an older wine“ type. Some faint mushroom.
  Not enjoyable at all to drink, almost like a science project with this bad mustiness.
  I love old wines , and typically some of the best older California cabs have held up, but not this one.
  Don’t know if this was just a bad bottle, but not something I would drink willingly..

  February 14, 2021 - Cork in terrific shape with only a 1/2 inch run and very good fill to right above the neck. I used a pressure device to pop it out. I bought this 20 + years ago but have kept at 53-58 temperature all this time. I read someone's review that said it was dead but probably it was not well kept. This bottle was in good shape. Aromas of damp earth, cedar and berries. Very reticent after one hour but opened with decanting. Tannins were still a bit harsh initially but after two hours they softened significantly. Flavors of cherry and red berry fruit . Wine was actually much more enjoyable after 18 hours opened. Matched well with grilled lamb garnished with mint jelly and accompanied by garlicky green beans. It is however very mature so should be consumed soon if you have any.
