Mid-shoulder fill, moldy and saturated cork that came out in two pieces (but cleanly). Had low expectations and this greatly exceeded them. Sweet black berries on the nose and in the mouth, nice silky mouthfeel. Medium bodied with low to medium acidity. The fruit is slightly pruney but otherwise this isn't showing its age that much. Not a lot of complexity, a dash of baking spice, but a harmonious old wine and a very pleasant surprise.

No fruit left. Mainly leather, tar, soft tannins and maybe a hint of cherry.
