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!

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

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.

The 50 Big Bash (Harry's NYC): Not sure that this was a perfect bottle. There was something not quite right on it. Too bad.
