Friday, March 1, 2024 - Tremendous wine. Opened and aerated in bottle for an hour then decanted and drank over two hours. Cork almost fully soaked. Deep crimson red color, nose wafting with perfumed cassis, black currants, leather initially which morphed into cigar tobacco with more time in the decanter. Beautifully crafted wine, complex with secondary notes of mature delicious dark red and black fruits. Silky entry on the palate, expands beautifully mid palate with superb balance, finishes long with notes of coffee. As good as the 1982 if not better.
