Thursday, January 2, 2014 - A fine wine that has been in my cellar for decades. I pulled this bottle for New Years Eve. With the rest of the family gone, I had a great chance to try this in peace.
The cork was pristine but the wine took long hours to open. The complexity is impressive. There is still some Tart fresh fruit as well as dried. Minerals, leather, & Cedar enhance the profile.
Overall the wine was dark, and brooding; something you might well serve to "Ming the Merciless". This is obviously a great wine just not to my taste.
