Ullage at low neck. Single piece cork. Signs of seepage.
Tasted over 2h.
Seriously this was very youthful, showing some high toned fruity notes behind a very earthy palate. We have had plenty of dead wines that were about this age and this was delightful.
Drink up! 13% abv

Dinner at Formento's with Ross (Chicago, IL): This actually didn't taste as doctored as the 78 Volnay I had recently. In fact, this tasted like old red Burgundy in the best way. This has a really lovely autumnal quality to it, with a little bit of mushroom as well. There's still fruit, and no animale or barnyardy aromas -- this is super clean. The palate runs along those lines as well, with not much funk, some sweet fruit, and a good bit of clean earthiness.
