Still plenty of life left. A lot of pyrazines and acidity happening

So so lean... Good bottle. Pure leafy cherry funk. As it should be.

Wasn't quite sure at the start since the cork looked completely ruined...but the wine was actually still well preserved. Amazingly, still bright and lively but much softer and weathered. Could be a little bret in there but not enough to be completely defining. Still fun and still a 31 year old magnum.
