Just a bit of mold on the top of the cork. Nose instantly is a little funky, but that blows off quickly yielding to saddle leather, currant and cigar box. Color of deep garnet with clear rim and almost no brown/bricking. The palate is extremely smooth, yet still just a touch of "perk" mid way through. The finish shows off the secondary/tertiary flavors one would expect from a 25 year old. Really good wine, and outstanding QPR.

Opened and poured. Drank over 6 hours. Brick brown. Strong barnyard nose. Still a lot of fruit but begining to be overshadowed by tobaccos. Lingering finish. Surprisingly, minimal fading over several hours. Nice wine.
