Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 8, 2014 - Six years after the last review for this vintage here and still outstanding. Opened and found it to be musty but with incredibly strong fruit flavor. The cork crumbled in half and wine was 3/4 up but the top of the cork was still fine.

Let it breath in the bottle for three hours before pouring into glasses at which point the fruit had blended, much of the mustiness had blown off and the complexity increased. Great depth of flavor and rich fruits; unexpected after 39 years!

If you have one of these still I'd open it soon. I don't think there are more than a couple more years in this one.
