Top Notes For

Corked 🤬!!

(Day 2 update - ready to pour this down the drain but not quite willing to give up on the $ and 10 years of storage without a fight, I decided to give this the “kitchen wrap treatment” and was able to get it (somewhat) back to life and palatable. Naturally no rating on this specific “doctored version” but given the concentration, fruit intensity and overall structure I wouldn’t be surprised to see a pristine bottle hit in the 92-94 pts range).

This fine CAB is not meant to age 20+ years. Drinking at its top right now. Arajuo has changed hands and I hope they retain the quality🍷
