Cork in good condition, not much sediment. 13% alchohol. Last bottle I have of these, still going strong. Dark colour, pure varietal nose. Packs quite a punch, oak has been absorbed, high acid balanced with fruit, definite beet-root flavour, a lot of extract, tannins persist on a long finish. Has improved a lot from 5 years ago when I found it coarse and charmless, very nice for what it is.
