Noticed leaking cork. Fell into bottle when pushed with light pressure. Poured immediately and found, to my surprise, wine is still lovely, darkly colored, and not oxidized. Go figure.

Not the best bottle with a mid shoulder fill. Pnp. Still nice medium garnet color, no browning but a bit cloudy. Still some remaining fruit, medicinal notes, perhaps just a touch oxidative. Not great but not bad either.

Fine Wines SG - Grand Cru Discovery Pack (Delivered to Home): Slightly pale garnet, clearly browning. Stubbornly muted nose, with bits of underripe red cherry, brambles and twigs. Some heightened acids, and tannins provide a slight bite, with rather mild upfront flavours, but develops into tart sour cherry, coffee beans, and roses. Fair length

DIY BYO Dinner - Notes from another taster (Amali, NYC): Initially tasted upon pouring and felt this was pretty expressive with lots of leather, cigar box and fully mature fruit. Definitely an aged wine, but with lots of enjoyment left. After more than an hour in my glass though, it began to fade quite a bit. I would avoid giving this too much air for the best experience.
