Revisiting this after seven years. Very smooth but with a freshness that belies its 24 years of age. Lacks a bit of power and complexity to be an outstanding wine but extremely enjoyable. Still 5-10 years of life left in it.

From a double magnum, decanted four hours ahead of time. Smooth, red fruit, rust and damp earth. Not a ton of complexity or power but enjoyable all the same. Suspect regular bottles are now at their peak.

Very young but a nice nose and already a degree of complexity on the palate.
