Pristine cork, not much sediment, 90 minute decant to wake it up. Better at 30 years than it was at 25, some mint and cedar on nose, medium length, softened tannins, good balance with remaining fruit. 13% ABV, old-school St Estephe which doesn't have to scream and shout for attention. Good drinking now, will certainly keep if needed.

One glass from Coravin....still very young but perfect balance, oak is in harmony rather than dominant, dark fruit..another couple of years should be even better, drinking through the remainder of this decade. Love it!

The two bottles we opened were absolute tannic monsters...a wine that takes no prisoners. I've never been convinced by this vintage, it might be worth hanging on to a couple of bottles to see what they are like in a decade or so, but otherwise find some high-fat meaty dish to go with it and let it rip..
