Slightly depressed wine-soaked cork with some mold on top. Wine seemed to be in pretty good shape though. But definitely felt past its prime. Thin with little tannins left. Dusty and dry with some hints of soy and not much fruit left. I have one more and I'll probably drink soon as this is past its drinking window I fear.

What an over-performer. A Mesnil wine at very reasonable pricing. Amazing QPR and a perfect champagne cellar defender. Citrus and brioche on the nose, bright flavors and perfect amount of bubbles on the palate. Great stuff.

Bottle and cork in excellent condition. Wine very alive with fruit still present. Very enjoyable experience. Well kept bottles should still have several years left.
