  PNP. cork wet 3/4 up but intact. color dark ruby with lots of bricking. nose is mostly secondary w resinous cherry. swishing shows mostly tannin structure, some acid. med length finish. sipping shows enough guts to balance the remaining tannin. i actually think that this has a lot left in the tank. if i had more would hold at least 3-5 or maybe longer.

  PNP. cork wet to top but no leakage evident. color is dark garnet w bricking edges. i dont have detailed notes, but this still has some fruit but the tannins are still tough. improved w air so maybe just needs more cellar time. This was a recent acquisition so not sure of provenance. Is it just me or will these '96 cotes de nuits ever unclench?
