For my second bottle I choose a Hardys Nottage Hill 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon, mainly because once again it's the only bottle I can reach in the garage. Ignoring the dust I wrestle with cutting the top off, and my heart sunk when the wine puller went in too easily. Too easily! Yes, it was crumbly and the cork disintegrated under my hand. Not beaten, I pushed and pulled harder, with cork confetti showering around my feet in the kitchen. I suppose I should push the cork down, but I can't be bothered. Grabbing 2 fine sieves, I strain the dark reddish brown wine into a glass, before tasting. Nuh, it's not going to happen. It's gone off, and I'm not drinking it. Back to the clean-skins for tonight. Cheers!
