  May 29, 2020 - Opened. Cork is pristine, with absolutely no seepage. After 15 years on its side, cork is dry 1/4 inch from the bottom. I love the aroma of well-aged Leoville Barton - often my favorite part of the experience. This one is no different: blue fruit, forest floor, some anise. Swirl and enjoy. Wine clearly needs decanting. More to come....
  
  45 minutes later. ... excellent blue fruit on the palate. Some leather, and mild spice. Well integrated. Medium body and medium finish. With the fruit and even with the softened tannin, still stood up well to a venison shoulder roast (Travis's first buck).
  
  I have one more and will drink before 2022, with a 30 - 45 minute decant.
