  Another corked bottle. Too bad, as there was nice fruit under the TCA.

  Pop and pour, cork broke when I almost had it all the way out. I immediately got worried based on earlier notes, but this bottle showed itself to be pristine. On the nose: soft bbq, cedar, olive brine, game, dried raspberry. Not quite as haunting as the 1980 Le meal I've had, but damn if it wasn't close. Lively and energetic on the palate: dried raspberry, fantastic acid, lovely savory note and soft tannin on the long finish. Absolutely stunning.

  Unlike other members, I had no issues with my bottle, and the wine is drinking really well. Decanted about 4 hours before drinking, which was about right. An elegant lady of a certain age. Not as ravishing as when she was young, but elegant and beautiful as only an older woman of impeccable class and intelligence can be.

  Ever so slightly corked, which wasn't apparent upon opening.
