Oh no!

The last bottle of 1997 Dominus we had was completely corked... nasty stuff really. Such a shame. Gave me an opportunity to try the 2004 Plumpjack Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - what a powerhouse! The nose was a bit closed, and so was the palate at first, then WHAM! All at once... this needs time. BTW, this was in screwcap! The 1985 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion was beautiful bacony-pulverized gravel and leather. Not the most powerful, but a beauty.
