Cristiano Van Zeller, the maker of this wine, promised me that if the leaking cork effected the wine, he would replace it with a different vintage (because he is completely out of this one). I decided that it is not worth the trouble. It is not so ruined just slightly oxidized, more like a Late Bottled Vintage, nowhere like a Madeira. The fruit is a little muted but the wine is still lively. The fine structure of the vintage holds up very well. It is not like the unleaked ones but still quite a good drink, like a super fine LBV.
