  So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Served for my Wednesday wine committee hosting. Cut the foil and the cork looked in good shape from the top. Much better than the two CDP bottles I had just opened. Corks were not fully saturated, though one had a hint of wet cardboard, and I was worried one of the bottles were slightly corked. When decanted and poured a few hours later, it seemed to work itself out. Definitely some bottle variation between the two I opened, but both were in decent shape. That said, these were the most tired of the lineup, in my opinion. Nose and flavors were mostly tertiary, with only a hint of old fruit in the background. Calls were all over the map, with most landing on either an old bdx or old Cali cab.

  bought on release ($11.99 price tag), fill half inch in the neck, dead, gone, brown, no fruit, have had multiple other Cali cabs from the 1980s recently, this is the only one completely gone

  Deep ruby color with garnet hue. Earthy taste . Well balanced and elegant. Weekend treat with this sexy wine paired with Spanish bellota hams and other snacks .

  Wood, leather, tobacco on the nose. Medium body. A bit of bricking on the edges. Smooth in mid palate. Finish fades a little too fast though.
