  Bought from Benchmark, so not one I've cellared. Cork was crumbling & of course I couldn't locate my Ah-So opener. Had to dig out the cork & decant the wine through a filter. Some sediment on the inside of the bottle (label side, so the bottle was stored improperly, label-down). That said, a surprisingly nice bottle given the age. Some loamy-mushroom-funk going on (not a criticism). Tannins still in evidence. Fruit was very subdued, but after an hour, it's really opened up. Red cherry, blueberry, oak. Wish I could have tried this young & compared to how it is now. No mention of the alcohol content on the label, which surprised me. No back label, other than a "Government Warning" clear sticker.
