Cork was definitely on life support. Typical color for 25 years. Got to admit, I opened this last bottle a few years too late. Still nice, traditional CM, but a little past its prime. Had with a filet and enjoyed this last of my 97's.
This wine exceeded my expectations. Tannins were just what you would hope and expect for 2003. Had the 03 Las Cases last month, I prefer the Barton. Cheers!
