  Another Sotheby’s/ex-Wm. Koch cellar: glad I got in the habit of ALWAYS cleaning the shmutz off the top of the cork in case it ends up inside the bottle! Cork looked a bit dry after the hairy mold cleaned off. Never anticipated it would get sucked into the bottle after barely touching it with a corkscrew/ah-so. The wine seemed unaffected and not oxidized. Fairly large, tough wine still, much like previous bottles.
  2nd day: this really opened up to be a MUCH better wine on the next day. Softer, fruit much more rich than when first opened. I had poured remaining wine into a half bottle filled to brim, no argon, no refrigeration. 93+

  slight mold on a crumbling cork. Takes 2 hours to open...at open very disjointed tart acids and tannins....doesn't seem 40+ years old at all. melds in the bottle with air and really is nice. subtle raspberries, cherries, and violets. really amazing for the age of this sucker.

  Not as good as last week's bottle, this one was more herbal, mossy. Still powerful with a tremendous viscous richness of dark cherry fruit on the palate; still ample acidity helping to carry a long finish.

  Plenty of aging dark cherry still, deep aromas that seem a bit closed in and a bit out of focus for me. Very supple, rich dark cherry coulis flavors in the mouth that show top-notch quality. Perhaps other bottles would show more aromatic delineation to take me to that next level.

  Another go at this wine: (Wm. Koch ex-cellar again) Very rich yet savory; deep fruit, celery salt, barnyard hay. Well-knit and elegant; huge finish. Tried that first bottle too soon after arrival of the case last fall. Now showing MUCH better.
