Cork was in poor shape in magnum bottle. Strained and decanted for one hour before serving. Color was bright and the nose was, well...incredible. Notes of cherry which developed to tobacco and pencil lead. Well-balanced, complex and nice depth. Wine should be good for at least 10 more years.

Incredibly, still drinkable but at the end of its life. Some brown at the edges. After another 30 minutes notes of tobacco came through and it's depth came through. Would have been great about 3 years ago.
