From memory. Ruby watermelon. Although the nose remained stubbornly reduced, the palate is fresh and lively, clear red fruits with a touch of pommes, refreshing and savory finish. On the initial whiff I considered a turbulent decant, decided that too much action might not be good for an 8-year-old trousseau, after drinking, it probably would have been helpful.
A couple days in, the palate is still very nice, the nose smells of sawdust.

The cork split because there was almost no ullage. The nose had a distinct sawdust which slowly dissipated but never really disappeared. Relatively full body and flavor, this is a very nice wine but lacks a little zing, even possible TCA as I am nearly immune.
