  Pretty good bottle. Open on pnp, in decanter over 2 hours.
  Lots of Sandler wood, plums, deep base fumes, tannins almost held the structure , but felt like it was a bit overbearing. Felt like it was a juvenile trying to be an adult.
  And the cork disintegrated .

  Like others have mentioned the cork disintegrates like Tom Holland in the Avengers. Initial out of bottle is very harsh and tannic. After filtering into decanter and sitting for 6 hours the tannins and acids have fully integrated, creating a very nice balance of fullness and tart fruits. Good bit of rose and asphalt on the nose. Still rather fresh, this can hold for 5-10 more years. Not top-tier but enjoyable and probably fairly priced. Bottle was ex-Chateau which likely helped.

  Fine wine except must be run through a strainer to get rid of the cork which falls apart upon opening.

  Pop and pour - still extremely tight, mushroom and earth dominating on the nose.
  
  1 hour in decanter, slowly opening up, a whisper of fruit on the nose, earth notes still center stage.
  
  3 hours in decanter, finally coming together, tart cherry flavor and tannins playing nicely.
  
  6 hours in decanter, everything is humming now, delicious fruit - tart cherry, dark berries, tannins still chewy but refined, mushroom, truffle on the nose still extremely present. Forest floor on the aftertaste.

  No formal tasting note- drank at BBQ gathering.
  
  Showed just beautifully. Gorgeous medium ruby color. Evolving and complex nose of baking spice, floral (rose and violet) and black fruits.
  
  Medium plus in body with fresh acidity and a long finish.
  
  Very well done. Drink now or hold for another 5 years- easily. Not sure it will improve though..
