We were a little worried that the cork had bled through, but it came out solid and had good fill. Mature red color with a bit of yellowing on the edges but no sign of decay. Beautiful aroma of lilac cherry and tobacco came out about 20 minutes after decanting. Pure, balanced red current flavor. Glad we opened; this is tasting very well today but does not have a lot of firmness to give to time.

The cork was still in good shape, although barely; some red runners were within a few millimeters of the top. There was only a faint hint of an aroma left. Nothing bad, but nothing good. The wine was dull and lifeless. Over the hill. We poured it out.
