I was worried at first upon removing the seal and looking at the top of the cork which looked decayed. It came out okay but was very soft and smelled of cellar funk. However upon first tating the wine was still there though somewhat thin. It continued to blossom over the next two hours becoming quite full and able to complement a ribeye and salad. Smooth, medium finish, somewhat dull berry hints. Started to trail off after two hours but absolutley delightful in between. For a 26 year old wine this was a real pleasure. Will definitely drink my reamaining few bottles in the 6 months.

Absolutely delightful. Again with lamb kaboob, green and red pepper & onion. Enough bite to handle it all yet very smooth on the finish. Very fruit forward with Raspberry taking the lead.
