Really had my doubts -- pulling the cork was a mess! However, was able to decant through a fine sieve to remove bits and pieces of the cork. And thge bottle was not "corked!"
Color: light brown/red; skinny legs
Nose: Medium intensity. Warm dried red fruits and minerality. Continued to open over the time we drank it.
Body/flavor: light body. Complex flavors of dried red fruits and berries. Very distinctive. No off aromas.
Aftertaste: lingering finish
Oh so many years ago... this bottle traveled many miles, sat quietly and then amazed all of us! -

May 17, 2023 - Sehr jugendlich , kaum Reifenoten. Das Tanningerüst gibt ihm Potenzial für weitere Jahrzehnte. Füllstand kaum reduziert, Korken für das Alter sehr gut.

November 30, 2022 - Second time tasting this wine, and once again it's quite lovely. Opulent and hedonistic fruit, still going strong. One of the wines of the vintage, no doubt.
