  From a half. Cork not as bad as others have experienced. Gently sweet now, but candidly still youthful. This will go on (and on).

  As others have mentioned, cork was in absolutely terrible condition even with a perfect storage history. After some cleaning and careful uncorking, pours out of the bottle a rich golden color. Not as dark as a I'd expect from a 32 year old white.
  
  On the nose, rich butter with a hint of mushroom. Palate is similar. Not super sweet, but with any less sweetness the minerality and age would be a lot more noticeable. Shockingly, although the acidity is nearly gone, there is a ghostly presence of apple for the first hour of opening.
  
  Nearly dead after 2 hours of opening. Oxidizes quickly. Drink now, this ain't getting any better.

  Cork hideous and definitely showing it’s age but still pleasant to drink and paired well with Chinese takeout, much of it spicy. Not at all cloying and only moderately sweet. Still very good

  Maybe the ugliest, loosest cork yet, but still delish and what a crazy value this is/was. Still has petrol, acid and sweetness in excellent balance. Seem to be ageless....yum
