Picked up this bottle right after it was released and let it age for about a decade. No cork issues upon opening. It is drinking great. This wine still packs a punch and is full bodied. The tannins have softened and is finally approachable. Lots of tobacco and chocolate notes. This wine was worth the wait.

Should have waited a little while. Still drinking a little young. Good integrated oak and fruit.
