Was somewhat skeptical on condition considering age & fill level (high shoulder) but perfectly evolved claret. Cork was fully saturated by firm, drinkable right away but moderate improvement over time. Drank perfectly over a 2 hour period. Drink or hold.

Only had one of these in '03 vintage, decanted 3 hours before planned seating for dinner. Still a bit tight at the beginning but then unfolded beautifully between 3 1/2 and 5 hours. We thought 2 choices - either wait a few more years to open or add another hour to decant time. Enjoy!

Similar to another post - bought ages ago and waiting too long. Spoiled and poured down the drain....
