While I was worried it would be way past its prime and the cork has some residue on the seal, we all were pleasantly surprised how good it was. Great legs, close to going bad but ended up quite nice. Was a very smooth wine, almost slippery.

Funky nose w/some fruit, pickled asparagus, oysters, later emerges dark fruits, tar, brown sugar, crème brulee, tastes of some fruit, medicinal early, later reveals round fruity, licorice finish, a tad bitter, definitely improves with some air, a few ultra fine tannins on the finish

Too old, should have had it years ago. Barely drinkable. Minimal flavor.
