In decent shape, which is especially shocking because the cork moves up and down 5mm in the neck (the coravin popped it up some and it moves back and forth!)
Rich dark red fruit, cherries and cassis. Integrated tannins, but pretty grippy on the teeth. Not terribly long on the finish though.

Pnp. A little thin. It evolved at a pretty good clip and needed about 3 hours to show it's stuff. Dark berry and a decent mouthfeel. Still youthful and bright but no tannin. I can't see it getting better. Very enjoyable but not memorable.

Decanted over 2 hours. Became very nice wit some air. Deep hues. Rich lush black and blue fruit. Complex and integrated. Acidity and tannins blew off. Very nice bottle.

A very reasonable wine. Pleasantly drinkable with very nice fruit. Considering the age, I'm happy with it.

Simply yummy. Nice fruit and still going strong. Medium body with a short finish but a perfect bottle for the price.
