Nicely preserved couple of bottles, opened up just nice after 20 minutes in a decanter. Tightly reduced nose at first, revealed its complex underwood, cigar box, kirsch flavours after a while. The palate was thin almost fragile but still balanced, on the alcohol, acidity and well polished tannins. Very good surprise for a 38 y.o. wine (except for the tricky cork :)
