cork long, soft. no ullage. purple still, but garnet in the light, and clear at edge and throughout. Not much if any sediment. fragrance closed in at first, then opening to diried violet smell with a hint of orange T: 3-, A: 3, G: 3. F: 3. Smooth at first pour, then becomes more integrated and smoother. Nice lingering aftertaste. Had with spaghetti and meat sauce. It has lasted these 34 years though it has seen better days in its youth. I will taste it again tomorrow. 17.5/20
