  Perfect storage (Wine Society & recently a Eurocave). Ullage was bottom neck. Bottle and cork was clean under the capsule and cork came out nicely without falling apart. Great nose although a slight hint of corky mustiness -- don't think it's TCA, just a little 30 year old mustiness. Going to leave it breath for a bit then decant.
  Decanted and immediately poured a glass. Beautiful! Lovely classic Bordeaux nose, seems much younger than expected. Lots of fruit still there. A little sweet even and some lovely tanginess. Amazing for a thirty year old non-classes growth!
  Great with a barbecued steak. Sweet and a touch of caramel yet with some interesting mustiness underneath to at least give the hint that this is more than 10 years old!
