Pnp. Used a worm, cork broke in two, 2/3 down, but thankfully two solid pieces. Otherwise the cork was in good shape, still spongy, with no "wine creep." Color was a light reddish brown. Initial nose was tight, but smelled of black truffles with little fruit. Initial taste was a bit reticent, with limited red fruits, cocoa, mushrooms. Drank over three and a half hours and both the nose and taste became more and more complex. Smooth, well-integrated tannins. I have two more and will enjoy these over the next two years.

Must have been a nicer bottle, because this bottle is nicer than the previous ones! Okay nose, spectacular mouth and taste, and good length. Lots of. Cherries and spices.
