Cork crumbled but does not matter. This is spectacular. Some bricking on the edge. Warm and ripe cigar box aromas. Compelling dark fruits with a deep impression. So smooth and savory. Some very dark fruit and a lot of other complexity. Warm earth and stone. This is in an absolutely great place. Mellow and long. Shockingly great bottle.

Medium dark red color with some bricking. Snuck a taste with the Coravin tonight. Definitely a bottle that is in good shape, nice pencil lead, cherry, plum fruits, earth, creosote nose. The palate is medium bodied, still lively, good acid, red fruits with some hints of dark fruit, gravelly, fine grain tannins.

1988 Bordeaux Tasting (Walnut Creek, Ca.): Nice, rich, ripe fruit, bark on the nose, medium body, open, fruity, bark in the mouth, nice dusty finish, good but not great.

Very smooth and the aromatic fills the cellar after a few minutes of being opened. Still has good fruit. Great value and balance .

Fully mature, gentle, soft, with a very nice, long finish. This is really drinking wonderfully.

Starting to dry out, and showing much more tobacco and earth, than the small amount of red fruit that remains, this requires consumption.
