Unfortunately way past when it needed to be opened. Still gave it a score, because the cork was solid.

Simple mushroomy nose didn't prime the palate for its elegance. Balanced chocolatey spice and fruit.

Truly beautiful for what it is. Still nice acidity and lovely fruit. Very elegant. Fooled the wine team. They all thought old CA Cab.
