Slightly faded but still with nuance. Once decanted fort an hour or two, the nose opens widely to wonderful fruit and fragrance. The flavor lags slightly, but there are still some nice tannins. Worthwhile but not exceptional.
Cork was still intact.

Bonus pour for club members being in our party. This was coravin'ed for us and generously gave us a few sips for our party of 10. It had a slight bricking, a bit worn and past its prime, but really a nice way to cap off the tasting to see how Fay can evolve over the years. I'd suggest 3-8 years on Fays, 5-12 years on SLV and 20+ for Cask 23, although certain vintages certainly differ!

Past its prime... But let it breathe for a few hours. It gets better.

Drink now. Past it's prime, and on it's way to nothingness. Don't open and expect a good pour. Rather, open and hope it's good.
