Low neck fill. Cork almost soaked through but came out in one piece. Good color in glass with obvious browning. Slightly musty (not corked) bouquet. Nice fruit on palate but obviously fading. Dusty tannins in finish. Nice but a wilting flower. Some sediment. Drink up!

Amazing still going strong after 21 years
Smooth - getting better after opening
Had to decant - cork died

Nice bottle. This one in particular was on a downhill slide, but do not think it was stored under optimal conditions. Still quite enjoyable.

Beautiful merlot that continues to open up 2 hours after opening - surprised that the bottle is still good for a 1996!
