Sadly a touch old and thin - opened up and improved a bit with another hour or so in the decanter (having been in for a couple of hours to start with).

Sadly, past its prime. Plummy, overripe - not cork tainted though (cork was intact and in good shape). Decanted at least 90 mins before drinking, but was in trouble. Improved a little as it opened up, but still not good drinking. Have a few left, so fingers crossed they are ok!

Drinking very well - little sediment and no sense of too old. Decanted about 120 mins before drinking.
