Unfortunately held onto the last bottle too long. The cork cracked upon opening -- it was very dry and brittle. The bottle had that familiar scent when it is slightly corked. We took small tastes that evening, but pretty much just left the wine in a decanter. The next day we tried it again, and it was drinkable. But, if you still have any bottles left, it is time to open them

decanted and let it air out for most of the day. It drank marvelously. this is a fortunate example of a wine that is beyond it's drinking window that still is excellent

Needs quite a while to air out before drinking, but still drinks fine
