Cork was moldy at the top. I almost thought it had compromised the wine because the smell of cork and black coffee was so predominant on first whiff and taste. But it mellowed out after several minutes, giving way to a structured, slightly oaky wine. Probably needs more time to age (2009 vintage opened at the very beginning of 2012), but I'm glad I opened for the mold would have been worse otherwise.
