Color was almost an orange/hot pink. Still lots of fruit, acidity and a solid core of tannin. Not too much or too little. Amazing this wine held up so well for so long. Opened and poured, however, the fruit did not fade away as we drank the bottle. Super. Cork was soft-ish, but came out in one piece with the help of the Durand opener. If you do not have one and have the means, I highly recommend it for old corks.

This looked and smelled DOA. Five hour decant brought out a nice wine in its Autumn. No complaints at all.
