Cork was stained to just before the top so didn't expect much. However, once the aged cork smell blew away in the decanter for 90 mins the fruit came to the fore and opened up wonderfully. Good alcohol still evident and was still fresh on the front palate. Dies a little on the back but what a stunning old wine.

Bought half a year ago direct from cellar door, this wine will probably not get any better, but can easily be drunk for a few more years. Had good color. Drank direct, without any decanting. It opened up for the first 20-30 minute and was drinking well for 3h.
