A leaker, with soaked cork, but it seemed to have resealed itself, as the color was still very deep with no signs of fading oxidation. A bit past its prime, to be sure, but still showed blackfruit, tar, earth and some reasonable structure. Paired well with a greek salad and lamb cutlets.

Dark ruby/purple colour; opaque. Fat, slow legs that stain the glass. Aromas of tar, blackberry, cherry, and black olive. Medium-full bodied with black plums, tar, spice, and pine needle. Moderate finish, ~30-40s with tar, and black fruits. Really fleshed out and became more pronounced on the nose the second day it was open. Drinking wonderfully. Just a tad shy of outstanding.
