The cork broke half way through extraction but I was able to get the rest out. Still quite dark and fresh looking showing no sign of the tile color. The sediment is relatively small. Big nose of earth and tobacco. The taste is consistent with the nose. A bit austere but very balanced and in great condition. Had this wine been more lush, it would be even better. This is a great wine from this less touted vintage.
