Saturday, November 8, 2014 - An outstanding, elegant wine: after 26 years of aging, it offered a broad aromatic palette underscoring tertiary aromas, but still presenting fruity, secondary aromas to complement them (cherry, raspberry, tobacco, underbrush, wet soil, dried leaves, potpourri, sage, rosemary, cocoa, vanilla and a touch of black pepper). It still had enough acidity to keep it alive (although I would not wait much longer to drink it) and gentle tannins, along with great smoothness – overall attaining a nice balance. Long finish.
