  The fill level, lower neck, foil, label and cork were all in excellent condition, amazingly in top condition, appropriate for the age. The cork was tight and firm;]used an ahso two pronged cork puller but it would've come out intact with a traditional cork screw.
  
  We decanted this as there was a fair amount of sediment in the bottle and an initial bit of musky dusty earthiness that burned off over the course of an hour. Dark ruby, ever so slightly brickish colored, medium bodied, silky smooth and polished, holding together amazingly well for its age, vibrant black berry and black cherry fruits with notes of creosote, cigar box and hints of cassis, and what the winemaker refers to as notes of rhubarb.

  Fantastic bottle, perfect cork, did not note the fill. Fair amount of fruit on the nose as well as sautéed green pepper. Alcohol felt to be at about 10%. Beautiful old Napa.
