the cork was pretty dry and crumbly so I did not have real high hopes. The wine has decent color and does not look like its in bad shape. I've had this wine since release and my cellar is cold and pretty damp. Just not a lot going on. Some decent tannins and structure but I just don't get a lot of fruit or any interesting aromatics. just sort of dumb. Kind of dissapointing given the price. Its been open for about two hours. Going to let it sit and see what happens.

dark red, opens with big rich nose but a little tight on the palate, then gets bigger & bigger with time, very rich, ripe, sweet, clean fruit, nice finish, outstanding

Had some doubts about the storage of this bottle and they turned out to be correct as this was cooked.
