This wine showed exceptionally well considering its age. There was very little oxidation and the fruit was still evident, while not as bright as it was in its youth. The wine was very balanced with hints of dusty fruit and cocoa. The finish was long and pleasurable. This was a great bottle of wine.

This is a great bottle of wine that has stood up to time. There were still bright cherry and red fruit flavors with a subtle acidity to give it that old world charm. The finish was long and the wine cleaned your palette leaving you craving more.
