Opened this for my 40th birthday tonight. Nose and palate fitting for an old wine of this magnitude. Silky smooth with pale ruby color. Plenty of leather and graphite with a fairly weak finish holding mushroom undertones. Tannins long gone. A fun wine to consume but passed it's prime.

Decanted for 4 hours prior to serving from a 3L...outstanding wine! Very smooth with robust tannins that had clearly benefited from the extended time in the decanter. Plenty of fruit on the palate and really nice deep purple hue. Very pleasantly surprised with this wine.
