Glad I got to try this again with more time. Even a Durand couldn't save this cork. Lovely aged Cali Cab, maybe slightly past prime. On the nose: dried mulberry with cedar toast and some soft charcoal. On the palate: still good acidity, more dried blackberry and mulberry, soft charred meat and completely attenuated tannin. Yum.
