Saturday, January 26, 2013 - The fill was into the neck, the cork soaked 2/3 of the way but solid. Color showed only modest signs of age. Still a dark plum to core. This bottle was spectacular, evolving in the glass over a couple hours but never dropping off. Upon first opening, tobacco, black currant and cedar dominated. After an hour, black cherry, some hard leather and menthol appeared. After a couple hours it was a blend of all three. The wine was smooth but the tannins were still very firm underneath. 30 second finish. A real mouthful and a great experience.
