This one certainly wasn't corked, nor was it particularly thrilling. ok balance, not much bottle boquet, subdued and somewhat evolved fruit flavors, no cigar box or tobacco notes. Fine, if no better and maybe less interesting than when young.

Similar results with the '09. Still have a few '05, '09, '10 left, but no longer a buyer. Should have drank them young, but who knew!?
