Unfortunately not very good. Smelled fantastic on the nose, but had a noticeable strange taste in the mouth. The day after that strange taste had developed onto the nose too. Maybe this wine can’t be stored for 20 odd years?
It had a very warm and welcoming bouquet that opened up even more after six odd hours in a decanter. The taste was outstanding for this price range and I regret not buying more of these back in the day.

If one word could describe it, simply fantastic!
