The cork crumbled so had to be pushed inside. Had to use a strainer. The wine however was fine. Even with 20+ years of age, the wine is still going strong. Almost requires substantial food pairing.
Day 4 - after 3 days in the fridge, this wine tastes even better. Super smooth now vs. a bit harsh on day 1. Probably 93-94pt now.

Slight milk chocolate aroma with a background of graphite. A wild berry flavor with a long finish of dusty flavor despite a hillside vineyard. It is an interesting wine with an even better value for the price given what o paid for this.

This has held together really well — have had these for 15 years. At peak, drink soon, but still excellent.

Still in a really good place. Mature, complex and well-integrated. Glad I have a few of these left!
