October 14, 2023 - This is getting old, but the cork was just fantastic: only small taint of red at the end, the rest was flexible and clean after 25 years!. Brown amber color, clearly an old wine. Muted nose at first, then there are tones of tobacco, warm wood, mushrooms and a faint hint of prunes. Medium bodied attack, expands on the mid palate where the tobacco tones are fortified. Lots of tannins, but they are quite rounded, and there is a fine acidity that lifts the aftertaste to an almost citrusy tone. Tobacco and leather dominates the long aftertaste. It is clear that this wine should have been drunk some ten years ago or so, but it is fascinating to drink this wine at this age.

December 3, 2019 - 3 hour decant- moderate up front fruit with a smidge of heat. Decent balance. Below average finish. This is enjoyable but unworthy of contemplation. Certainly in its prime and will hold for about 3-5 years here.
