Birth year wine! And holding up well, some dark woodsy action up front with a little dark fruit, nice acidity to finish things off, pleasantly surprised — 4 years ago

Getting better with some air
From K&L notes, These library wines from Lakespring Winery have immaculate provenance and were purchased directly from the original owner of the property. They have spent the past few decades in commercial wine storage and were hand-delivered to K&L and inspected bottle by bottle. As with all old wines the corks can be fragile and we recommend using a Durand opener or other ah-so style opener for best results. The wines may also contain natural sediment.
I definitely used my Durand, thanks to @David T for telling me about that corkscrew.
Nice older wine experiment, wouldn’t do it again though. Glad it was a Mag, don’t think a .750 would of made it — 4 years ago
