Monday, January 15, 2024 - Bottle discovered when moving wines to a new location. Not stored under optimal conditions in a crawlspace since release (50-70F temperature variations over the years).
Cork still intact and removed without problems. Partially bricked color, but still has good pigmentation. Spicy, acidic nose. Not much fruit left, but good acidity and complex, earthy/leathery/spicy flavors. Long finish.
Better than I had expected for a 14 year-old, not especially well-cared-for bottle.
