It was surprisingly well preserved as I had low expectations for a bottle like this to age well, but while it had lost much of its fruit it had developed a nice caramelized lemon nuttiness.

I believe this bottle was somewhat corked. First indication was that the bottom section of the cork remained solid cylindrical instead of returning to a mushroom shape, with some mold on the cork itself. Aromas were yeasty, earthy with muted citrus and a slight cardboard scent - the second indication that the bottle was corked.
