  Records not handy. Purchased several bottles (12b case?) at auction 20+ years ago (either Davis, Chicago Wine, or Morrell)--probably <20/b. Solid cork. Decanted with minimal sediment. Dark purple with amber edge; fragrant Right Bank Bdx nose with hint of beef bouillon, consistent taste follows; very good mouthfeel. Recall not enjoying it when first tried years ago, but this is remarkably good: glad to have three more. Quality/price/age: Notable+.

  60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon so a little like a St. Emilion. Alchohol content not specified other than "Red Table Wine". Low neck fill and a spongy, fragile cork - not a good sign. Obvious browning in the glass. Fading fruit on palate - hanging on by its fingernails, but still interesting. Probably 6 or 7 years past peak. Still drinkable but a faded flower. A little bit of sediment. (Purchased in 1999 for $39.99 just so you know.)
