Popped and poured. Intense tertiary notes on the nose (old leather, dust, dried mushrooms) but equally intense black licorice; which I'm sure was there 30 years ago. You have to dig for fruits but there are a fair bit of dried red cherries and strawberries. Flavors consistent with the aromas and just as intense, which is nice. Things became muted after about an hour in the glass; but not terribly so.
No tannin; but some acid hanging on. Medium + body with the structure that carried this for 32 years. Drink now...and make sure to pop and pour!
