The last bottle of this vintage was singing, thankfully. No signs of the oxidation of some other bottles. The cork didn't make it out in one piece, perhaps indicating why some of the bottles were oxidized? Regardless, if the bottles are sound the wine is in great shape. No reason to wait on these at age 10 now.

Maybe getting a little long in the tooth. Not quite raisiny, but seemed to lose some freshness with longer exposure to air. Lots of residue.
Re-bottled half into a 375, we'll see how that half does later in the week.

A touch of oxidation, some secondary notes, and doing ok. Not really any better than previous bottles. Looks like this one is about at/just past peak.

No bricking, lovely spice and a little herbal. A very enjoyable bottle.
