90 Points

Monday, December 26, 2016 - This was fun. Difficult to get into - the cork was sealed over with hard wax, and the cork itself was saturated and crumbled to bits. Once we got it out (and strained the cork chunks with cheesecloth), it was pretty interesting. At first, there was a lot of foresty dank, bring bing cherries, and dustbin. The fruit profile was pretty subtle. With decanting, the tart cherries came forward and the dankiness wafted off, which actually made it kinda sharper and less complex. It faded faster than I expected, but hey, no harm done - when you walk into a party lugging a 3L bottle of 1970 Margaux, nobody is gonna have a bad time.
