So, one day in the wine cellar, I discovered this bottle had sprung a leak. It was stood up and as soon as the opportunity offered itself, the cork was popped. The wine showed great. A twenty five year old sweet Muscat from one of the top producers anywhere. The cork showed it has leaked from two spots. The wine was deep golden in color. A lovely nose of canned peaches with some minerals. Viscous. Just slightly sweet. On the palate, this is good, but I had hoped for a bit more depth and complexity. The peaches come thru. No real signs of age or oxidation. Good finish. Old bottles, especially with bad corks, are a crap shoot. This was excellent if not at a rarefied level. Glad to have bought and glad to have opened when I did.
